Retry Attempts
The number of retry attempts for the Azure BimlCatalog Activity in Azure Data Factory. When an activity run fails, Data Factory retries it up to this many times before the activity is marked as failed.
The value is emitted as the Retry property on the BimlCatalog logging activities BimlFlex generates in Azure Data Factory pipelines: the stored-procedure calls that record execution start, end, errors, and row counts in the BimlCatalog database. A blank value is generated as 0 (no retries).
When to Change This Setting
Keep the default 0 when logging failures should surface immediately. Set a small number of retries when the BimlCatalog database can be briefly unavailable (for example on serverless tiers that auto-pause) so a pipeline run does not fail on a logging call.
