Confirming completion of gen2 dataflows

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 253
I have 2 gen2 dataflows in a Fabric capacity. One executes a SQL stored proc and updates a table in a Fabric warehouse. The second dataflow takes the table from the first dataflow and appends it to a table of historical data (that historical data table is in the same warehouse as the table for the current data refreshed by the first data. 
 
My Power Automate flow refreshes these two dataflows consecutively as part of an overnight data refresh process. I noticed recently that the second flow (which results in a computed entity) doesn't seem to be including the new data in the table that's refreshed by the first dataflow. It's like the second dataflow is running before the data from the first dataflow has been written to its destination table.
 
So I'm wondering, do I need a way to confirm that the first dataflow refresh has completed prior to triggering the second data refresh? Right now they just run like this:

Thanks so much for any tips you can pass along!

    That is correct - these actions are always asynchronous and do not wait.  Run the first refresh in flow A and then use flow B with a trigger "When a dataflow refresh completed"  to initiate the second refresh only when the first one succeeded.
     
    One alternative would be to implement your own polling.  Another alternative are Fabric pipelines that give you the option to wait for completion.
