Source data has updated AFTER the scheduled data share

Question

Our data warehouse failed this morning. We have a number of data share subscriptions set up to send data via Azure data share in the morning about an hour after the data warehous has completed. The data warehouse is now up to date but how do I ensure the customer has the most recent data and doesn't have to wait for the daily refresh tomorrow.

Hello DataPeps2023,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

If your data warehouse has been completed and you want to ensure that your customers have the most recent data, they can manually trigger a new data share snapshot. This will create a new data snapshot and make it available to your customers.

To trigger a new data share snapshot manually, the customer can follow the steps below.

1. Open the Azure portal and navigate to your data share account.
2. Click on the "Received shares" tab and select the data share you want to update.
3. Click on the "Trigger Snapshots" tab and select full or incremental snapshot of your data.
4. When the last run status is successful, go to target data store to view the received data. Select Datasets, and select the link in the Target Path.
