Model Failure due to Table Unavailability

Error Summary

This error occurs when a Model fails because the table used in its SQL query is unavailable during execution.

Potential Cause

Another Model creates and updates the table used in this Model’s SQL query. If that table is being truncated or loaded while the current Model tries to access it, the current Model fails.

For example, Model A uses Table B in its SQL query, which is created by another Model C. If Model C truncates or loads Table B while Model A tries to access it, the table becomes unavailable, causing Model A to fail.

Suggested Action(s)

Create a Workflow to schedule Models to run one after another.

Note: Starting Release 2.17, the Workflows feature is available only for existing users. Users signing up from Release 2.17 onwards cannot create Workflows.
