View details of the run, such as API name and group, and review key information about failed runs:

  • Execution stage: Represents the current stage for in-progress runs and the stage at which a run failed.
  • Status details: Provides the reason why the run failed at a particular stage and the possible next steps to fix the issue.
2 Review the input variable values, datasource filters, and filter criteria used for the run. If the writeback results don't match your expectations, the input variable values to identify how data was filtered and the values that were used to compute formula outputs.

Verify which debug nodes were selected for the run.

If Save Count of Node Records or Save Node Output Without Writing Back Results debug modes were selected, review the nodes with output record counts on the Tasks tab.
## Tasks Tab When a definition is run, each stage of the run is broken down in to one or more tasks. The tasks are performed sequentially and the number of tasks differ based on the definition's runtime platform, data sources, and writeback configuration. To learn about the workflow of runs, see [Workflow of Data Processing Engine Definition Runs](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.dpe_monitor_workflow.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A definition's run consists of different stages. The stages include syncing data sources on the definition's runtime platform, transforming data, and writing back results to target objects. The overall workflow remains the same for definitions on CRM Analytics and Data Cloud. Though there are key differences in the resources used to run definitions of each platform."). ![Tasks tab of a definition's run.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-data_processing_engine-264-0-0-production-enus/80e06924-e6c0-4b82-81cf-e99ccd77d857/data_processing_engine/images/dpe_monitor_workflow_tabs_tasks.png)

Identify each task with the execution stage or the definition node that it represents. For example, Source type tasks represent the process of syncing data from a definition's data source to the definition's runtime platform. The Execution task represents the stage when the run transforms data across the definition's nodes and Writeback type tasks represents the process of writing back results to the definition's target objects.

In Save Node Output Without Writing Back Results debug mode, batch job tasks use the Output Record Nodes task type.

If Save Count of Node Records or Save Node Output Without Writing Back Results debug mode is selected for the run, a separate task of the Output Record Nodes task type is generated for each selected transformation node, including input and output record counts. For more information, see Debug Mode: Save Count of Node Records.

Review the count of records that were provided as input to every writeback task and the count of records that were written back by the task to the target objects. The total failures help you find the count of records that were eligible for write back but the run failed to write back.

These counts help you identify Writeback Object nodes that have configuration issues and proceeding nodes whose configuration filters data that must be written back.

If the definition consists of a Composite Writeback node, the grouped input, output, and failed counts are provided for the related Writeback Object nodes. For each Writeback Object node, records are grouped by the ID of a unique related record. For example, two contacts that are associated with the same account are grouped together. A separate task is created for the Composite Writeback node, and its counts are calculated by aggregating the group counts of the related Writeback Object nodes. If a Writeback Object node writes back to 20 Contact records and the records are grouped by their related Account records, the grouped count represents the number of unique Account records across the 20 contacts. And if the grouped counts of Writeback Object nodes are 10 and 15, the aggregated count for the Composite Writeback node is 25.

The total input and output record counts for a composite writeback task are the sums of the corresponding record counts from all child writeback nodes.

When a data source uses a CRM Analytics dataset, CRM Analytics provides the input and output record counts for the Execution task. If filters on the data source result in 0 records, the CRMA API gives both the input and output record counts for the Execution task as 0. For Source tasks, Data Processing Engine fetches the record count directly from the CRM Analytics dataset.

To improve the stability and reliability of Data Processing Engine (DPE) runs, DPE automatically retries tasks when an intermediate issue occurs. This retry behavior applies to applies to all batch job tasks and the data source is Data 360 objects, Salesforce objects, and CSV files, but doesn't apply to CRM Analytics.

Additionally, Data Processing Engine internally retries three times to retrieve the input and output record counts if the initial retrieval fails. If Data Processing Engine can't retrieve the record counts after three attempts, it proceeds to the next batch job task without failing the current task.

Use the Download Failed Records quick action on Writeback tasks to download a CSV file containing the details of all records that weren't written back for the node. This option is only available for CSV ingestion, Writeback, and Composite Writeback tasks that have failed records.

The CSV file contains the failure reason and the data that must be written back for each record. Use this data to debug errors related to node configuration, user access, and runtime platform setup. If the count of failed records is small, you can also updated the impacted required with the transformed data.

To resolve the failures, review the failed records on the Tasks tab or the Failed Writeback Records tab, fix the errors, and run the definition again. The status Completed with Failures is only available with a limited set of process types. ## Failed Writeback Records Tab This tab consists of the details of up to 50 records that were eligible for write back but a Writeback Object node failed to write back. If two Writeback Nodes consist of records that it failed to write back, then up to 50 records for each node is shown on the tab. If the definition consists of a Composite Writeback node, then the tab shows the details of all records that failed writeback. ![Tasks tab of a definition's run.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-data_processing_engine-264-0-0-production-enus/80e06924-e6c0-4b82-81cf-e99ccd77d857/data_processing_engine/images/dpe_monitor_workflow_tabs_failed.png)

Get the IDs of the records to which data wasn't written back.

The information shown for failed records depends on the definition’s runtime platform.

  • Data 360 Runtime: The record ID and bulk API job ID are shown. In case of failure during the initial data insertion process, the record ID will be blank.
  • CRMA Runtime: Both Name and Record show the same bulk API job ID.
2 Review the reason due to which the run failed to write back to the record.
![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-data_processing_engine-264-0-0-production-enus/80e06924-e6c0-4b82-81cf-e99ccd77d857/images/icon_tip.png) Tip If you have more than 50 failed records for a Writeback Object node or if the tabular format doesn't work for you, download the failed record details for each node as a CSV file from the Tasks tab. ## Analysis Tab On this tab, get a snapshot of the performance metrics of the current run and the previous three runs of the definition. Along with performance, you can review your org's Data Pipeline resource utilization and make an informed decision about future resource requirements. For failed runs, you get recommendations about how to fix errors related to node configuration, user access, and runtime platform setup. The Analysis tab is available only for definitions run on CRM Analytics (CRMA). ![Analysis tab of a definition's run.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-data_processing_engine-264-0-0-production-enus/80e06924-e6c0-4b82-81cf-e99ccd77d857/data_processing_engine/images/dpe_monitor_workflow_tabs_analysis.png)

Review these key details about the definition's latest run:

  • Total time taken to complete the run

    The metric helps gauge whether your definition's current configuration is performance efficient.

  • Total count of records written back and that failed to write back

    The metric helps identify whether your definition's current configuration writes back the expected number of records or whether the definition is skipping records.

  • Used capacity for Data Pipeline’s Recipe Rows Out against the provisioned monthly limit.

    This value reflects usage before the current run started and doesn’t include the current run's consumption.

  • Used capacity for Data Pipeline’s Output to CSV against the provisioned daily limit.

    This value reflects usage before the current run started and doesn’t include the current run's consumption.

The Recipe Rows Out and the Output to CSV utilization helps you calculate your org's Data Pipelines add-on requirements.
2 Compare the performance of the current run with previous runs to validate whether any incremental changes to the definition's configuration has helped improve its performance.
3 Get recommendations about how to debug and fix the issues due to which the current run failed.
