Retry Interval
Retry Interval specifies the amount of time to wait before attempting to retry a failed Databricks Notebook Activity. The interval is defined in seconds. Recommended value is between 30 to 600 seconds for most use-cases.
The value is applied as the retry interval on the Databricks Notebook and Databricks Job activities in the generated Azure Data Factory pipelines. A blank value is treated as 30. Whether a failed activity is retried at all is controlled by Retry Attempts, not by this interval.
When to Change This Setting
The default 30 seconds suits most schedules. Increase it when failures are caused by conditions that need longer to clear, such as capacity or throttling limits on the workspace.
