Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution if the Snap encounters an error.

  • Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.

  • Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Error

Reason

Resolution

Number of requests exceeded the limit of 6000 over the time window of 300 seconds

Requests exceeded the limit of 6000 over the time window of 300 seconds.

You must decrease the batch size and retry.

Too many Requests - 429

There are too many requests sent to Dynamics 365 For Sales endpoint.

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 For Sales related Snaps, include retry-after with <number of seconds> in the response header and automatically retries when they encounter status 429 error. Therefore, wait for the retry to succeed.
