Comment on Bulk Delete failing by Bulk Delete failing | 365 Community


The article discusses the issue of bulk delete failing in large instances of Dynamics 365. The author shares their experience working with a customer who had a large production instance and needed to reduce the size of their database. They attempted to use bulk delete to remove unnecessary data, but found that the jobs were not completing successfully. The author suggests that this may be due to bulk delete not handling exceptions like SQL Timeout properly or having a limit on the number of retries. They also mention trying to remove the records using SSIS/Kingswaysoft and encountering a SQL Timeout error. The author concludes by recommending caution when using bulk delete in large instances and expressing hope for a modernized revamp of the functionality.
