Manually refresh a virtual table

A manual refresh allows you to update a virtual table outside of its scheduled refresh interval. This is useful when data has changed retroactively or when a scheduled refresh has failed to capture recent updates.

You can perform a manual refresh when you need:

• Community data updates

  If data changes occurred before the current refresh interval, a manual refresh is required to capture those changes.

• Error recovery

  When a virtual table is disabled due to job execution errors, a manual refresh may be part of the recovery process.

• Data accuracy

  Perform a manual refresh to ensure the most accurate dataset when working with time-sensitive or corrected data.
