In our Azure data factory, I have a copy pipeline that copies from Cosoms DB.
This night the copy activity had to retry 87 times...
30th of august it "only" retried 17 times , and some time before time before that ran without having to retry..
what could be the reason , and any solutions?
Hi @Jona Lövheim ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question here.
As per my understanding, the query is about the long duration the pipeline is taking for completion, it is attempting for retries a lot of times. Please let me know if my understanding is incorrect.
I believe it might has something to do with the volume of data pipeline is pulling.
Please let us know after the analysis on the above points. Thankyou

hi! the issue was at the source side. the operation took to much time. this was because we had 7.5 million documents, and the field that I was filtering on was not indexed. So after indexing the values in the monogo DB , everything now runs smoothly.
