Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer Associate DP-700 Practice Question

Transient faults are best handled by automatic retries. In a Fabric (or Azure Data Factory-compatible) pipeline you do this on the activity's Policy tab. Setting the Retry count to 10 and the Retry interval to 120 seconds makes the service attempt the copy up to 10 additional times at two-minute intervals. If the fault clears, a later attempt succeeds and the pipeline run is reported as succeeded; if the fault persists, the activity exhausts its 20-minute retry window (10 × 120 s) and the run justifiably fails. Increasing only the Timeout property would keep the single attempt open, but it would not make additional attempts. Enabling Continue on error would mark the activity as succeeded even when no data is copied, hiding real failures. Alert rules do not change retry behaviour; they only notify operators.
