Database limits

For certain applications, after a refresh is scheduled, the request is evaluated for potential database-related issues on the database server that can cause the refresh to fail, such as capacity limitations. This step is known as DB Limits. If any issues are identified during the DB Limits evaluation, the refresh is canceled, and you receive a notification.

A refresh scheduled for a future date is evaluated a second time forty-eight hours before the scheduled launch time to ensure no issues emerged after the first evaluation. The refresh is then evaluated a third time immediately prior to the launch. If you schedule a refresh to launch immediately, then there is only one evaluation.

When a refresh is scheduled for a future date and the corresponding DB Limits check is successful, then the capacity required for the refresh is reserved on the database server. If another organization attempts to schedule a refresh for the same server, then their refresh will only pass the DB Limits evaluation if the server has enough capacity. If a scheduled refresh is canceled, then the space which was reserved for that refresh is no longer considered when future DB Limits checks are performed.
