What this says
Current to 11 Oct 26Gemma Holt reported the nightly refresh didn't run on 21 Jul 2026, causing dashboards to go stale during retailer calls. Bethan Lister identified a schema validation error on the BB-Demo platform within 35 minutes and confirmed a fix was being deployed.
Problem: The nightly refresh failed to run on 21 Jul 2026, leaving dashboards stale and blocking access to current order data needed for same-day retailer calls. Gemma Holt reported this at 12:44.
Handling: Bethan Lister responded at 13:19 (35 minutes later), confirmed the refresh failure was BB-Demo's issue (schema validation error in the data pipeline), and stated Ewan Pryce was deploying a fix. The ticket was solved by 2026-07-24.
Watch: Data freshness is core to value. This was a platform-level incident with a quick resolution, but monitor whether similar failures occur.

- created · Gemma Holt 21 Jul 2026 12:44The nightly refresh didn't run on 21 Jul 2026, the dashboards haven't updated since yesterday morning and the account managers are starting to ask about this morning's orders. We've got retailer calls lined up today and this makes us look bad if we can't pull the latest numbers together. Can you look into what happened and let us know when it's back up? We need the dashboards refreshed before the morning stand-up if possible. Cheers, Gemma
