SQL get rows emtpy

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by YannisB 11

Hello all,

I have a recurring flow that

  1. get sharepoint list items
  2. deletes the items
  3. get rows from SQL
  4. inserts the sql rows into the sharepoint list

This flow on the get rows action returns an empty data set. There are no failed steps.

If I run this manually it completes without issue.

This flow used to run for many months without issue,

How could I trouble shoot such behaviour?

 

I have tried to run this 2 times per week hoping that the 2nd time it would work but alas..

    @YannisB ,

    What account is the flow running against, does it have access to the SQL table?

    Did you investigate the flow run?

    @SudeepGhatakNZ  could in theory the account be different when running automatically vs manually?

    This is what the raw inputs from both runs (automatic and manual) show

    {
        "host": {
            "connectionReferenceName": "shared_sql_2",
            "operationId": "GetItems_V2"
        },
        "parameters": {
            "server": "default",
            "database": "default",
            "table": "[dbo].[PagiaCustomers]"
        }
    }
