Struggling with running DQ Scans (Long queuing and Retry Count Error Issues)
Hi everyone,
I have been exploring Microsoft Purview Data Quality quite extensively. At this point, I have configured more than 4,000 data quality rules across more than 10 Microsoft Fabric capacities, each with a minimum capacity of F16. Fabric is the source for all assets registered in Purview.
I have identified several issues with the product, but the two that are currently impacting me the most are the following:
- DQ scans failing with a generic error“Max Retry Count Reached. Ending Workflow. Current Task HandleError”The challenge is that the error message does not identify which rule is causing the failure. As a result, I have to troubleshoot manually by disabling groups of rules, rerunning the scans, and repeating the process until I find the problematic rule. This trial-and-error approach is very time-consuming, especially at this scale.
- This seems to be caused by issues in some of the DQ rules, even though all rules are marked as “Good to go” in Purview.
- When running Data Quality scans, I often receive the following error:
- DQ scans remain queued for a long timeI am not sure why this happens or what resource, orchestration, or scheduling constraint is causing the delay.
- Whenever I run these DQ scans, they remain in a Queued state for at least 10 minutes, even when there is nothing running on the Fabric capacities.
Has anyone experienced similar behavior with Purview Data Quality at this scale?
Specifically, I would appreciate any guidance on:
- How to identify which DQ rule is causing a scan failure
- Why scans remain queued even when Fabric capacity appears to be idle
- Whether there are known limitations or best practices for running thousands of DQ rules in Purview
Thank you.
