How To: Fix a Data Refresh That Does Not Start

Quick Summary: If you click Full Refresh or Reprocess Data and nothing appears to happen, the request is usually in the processing queue.

How the Refresh Queue Works

When you click Full Refresh or Reprocess Data, the request is placed in a queue and processed as soon as capacity is available.

Starting the same action again before the previous batch has completed can queue more than one request. This is not recommended.


Factors That Affect Duration

A Full Refresh includes extraction from your ERP, transfer to the cloud, and processing into your instance of the app.

Typical duration is influenced by:

  • Size of your data set

  • Current load on your database server

  • Number of customer data sets being processed on the cloud servers at the same time

A Reprocess Data run processes data already synced to the cloud and does not pull new files from your ERP, but its duration still depends on how many customer jobs are running on the servers.

When You Should Not Start Another Refresh

You should avoid starting another Full Refresh or Reprocess Data if:

  • You have already triggered a batch and have not seen it complete

  • Users have been logged out with an update in progress message

If you think the app is taking too long to update, the correct action is to contact support, not to start additional refreshes.
