Retry Attempts
The number of retry attempts for the Azure 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 Azure Data Factory activities BimlFlex generates that are not covered by a more specific activity settings group — for example the Get Metadata activities used in file-based loads. A blank value is generated as 0 (no retries).
When to Change This Setting
Keep the default 0 when failures should surface immediately. Set a small number of retries for transient failures, and pair it with a sensible Retry Interval.
