Retry Attempts

The number of retry attempts for the Azure Script 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 Script activities BimlFlex generates in Azure Data Factory pipelines, for example delete-detection processing, pushdown target-table processing, and Snowflake stage and warehouse-scaling commands. 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 when the scripts can fail transiently (for example on data warehouse resume or brief connectivity drops) and pair it with a sensible Retry Interval.
