Dynamics Environment Refresh taking way too long

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 47

I started a refresh from Production for our Sandbox Test environment several hours ago. Previous refreshes have taken less than 1 hour. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there any way to tell if the process is "stuck" or having other issues I should be aware of?

This was a full refresh (not just the entities/components). 

I have the same question (0)

    Hey!

    On https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/free-storage-space#reduce-log-storage you can read that Dynamics is moving the auditing to a new storage container.  As a result, Audit Copy/restore process is changing and according to documentation, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/copy-environment :

    Depending on the amount of copied and restored audit data, copy and restore operations can take up to 8 hours

    This means this would be the expected behavior.  There are some ongoing discussions and improvements to reduce this process time.  You can however submit this as an improvement on Ideas (dynamics.com)

    regards
