Re-submitting a Batch Manually

When creating a batch, the Updater automatically submits the data to the service. That process can occasionally fail. If the automatic retries are not frequent enough or have run their course, you can manually resubmit batches by clicking on more > Re-submit batch .

Note:

The more menu will not be present if the batch status is Completed or Cancelled.

You can only resubmit a batch if the batch status is Error due to submission failure. Create a data source export to view the submission status.

After the data has been submitted to the service, the results usually take a couple of days to be available. The Updater automatically retrieves the information, and even retries to ensure retrieval. However, you can manually retrieve batch results, clicking on more > Retrieve results .

Note:

The more menu will not be present if the batch status is Completed or Cancelled.

You can only retrieve a batch if the batch status is Error but the submission succeeded. Create a data source export to view the submission status.
