Dataflow | Stop running process

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 182

Hi lovely Community,

 

is there a way to stop a running data integration Datflow once it has started? 

Or do we have to wait until it has finished before to start it again?

 

BR,

Sven

    Two years later, this is still an outstanding issue. I am experiencing it now.
    I just upvoted and I'm bumping this so more will see it. Seems like a basic functionality. If you are reading, please go upvote.

    Hello @lg-power !

     

    Well, I did find a way, but not the one I hoped for. I ended up getting the flow cancelled through a support ticket.

     

    I also sometimes get dataflows randomly running for very long periods of time. Quite frustrating indeed.

     

    For now, I think the best thing to do is to vote on @KSven 's idea here: Dataflow | Manual cancel of Dataflow in progress - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com) . Maybe you have a few buddies at work that agree with you and you can get them to vote as well 😉 

     

    Keep 'em flowin' (but not too long)

    Hi @CharlesS 

    Did you ever find a way to limit the dataflow runtime? A set period after which it times out? 

    Got the same issue that sometimes, randomly, the dataflow takes 8 hours + whilst normally the flow would only take 2-5 min.

    Apologies for late response @CharlesS, don't think there is that can be set from PPAC or Maker portal. Might be worth contact Microsoft via support ticket. They might be able to share the environment/organizational setting and how to update if there's one.

    Bonjour Eric!

    The ability to cancel dataflows is a must, I also voted for this idea. I have a dataflow that's been running for 27 hours; it usually runs for less than 5 minutes. I read on other posts that dataflows were automatically cancelled after 24 hours. I'm thinking there is maybe a setting to specify the maximum runtime for a dataflow. Do you know if this is indeed the case?

    Thanks!

    Hi @KSven, unfortunately you can't cancel an in-progress dataflow. You'll have to wait until it finishes. You should submit the idea which would be handy particularly for long running dataflows: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/idb-p/PowerAppsIdeas  

    Cheers
