Cannot pause DataStream

[jiawei]

When i click on 'Pause', I keep getting the error:

Failed to pause <stream_name>: Something went wrong, please try again.

It has been happening for a few days now, the stream is running fine, but i need to add new tables.

Its using a MYSQL DB to GCS to Dataflow Template, I am DataStream and Dataflow Admin in my company project

Given that you have enough DataStream and Dataflow Admin permission on DataStream, what you can do is to ensure/counter-check that you're DataStream has enough permission on your GCS and MySQL.

I can't comment on why PAUSE is failing - we'd need a support ticket to gather more details so that we can investigate. If a support ticket isn't an option, you can open a ticket in our public issue tracker (and ping me the ticket #).

Having said that, you don't need to pause the stream to add more tables - simply edit the stream source configuration and you can change the objects to include - these changes will be applied immediately on the running stream as soon as you save them.

hm, we tried editing the stream without pausing it, but it also threw the same error.

We tried pausing again recently without modifying anything, and it works now. Phew!
