We are currently facing issues with intermittent, and sometimes very long delays in data coming through into shortcut sources (sometimes more than 1 day). we thought we had cracked it by forcing a meta data refresh in the lakehouse through a scheduled notebook by using this command spark.sql('REFRESH /'). However, I found this was not solving the issue today, nor did a manual meta data refresh, which may be because it was stuck or failing to refresh as the spinning icon remained spinning and I had to refresh the page. The schema enabled lakehouse is still in preview so it may just not be ready for production yet.

We have replication from an Azure Sql Server to a Mirrored item. The replication brings in a new parquet file with a few rows as the source db updates (it's a call centre transactional db). It means we have thousands of parquet files being created. It's not possible to run the optimisation command because of permission to edit in the location the mirror uses (the mirror's own Azure blob storage). I believe this fragmented files are putting large strain on the meta data update of the lakehouses which shortcut to this data. I can't be certain but I think this may be causing the delays and lockups of the schema shortcuts downstream that we are seeing. I'm very interested in how others are implementing replication and how it's working with the downstream dataflow.

Hi all, We are trying to get a report from fabric integrated into an app that is non-fabric premium workspace to be able to keep it alongside our legacy reports. We have published a report using BI desktop and the semantic model within a fabric workspace. The dev team can see the app but I'm struggling to get permissions to work for anyone without fabric workspace access to view the report. I have given users access to the semantic model but this is not enough apparently.

Hi All, A StarterPool is supposed to spin up in 10 seconds or so. I'm trying to get this to work but I still have start up times of 3-4 minutes in my notebooks, whether I use Starter Pool or other custom pools. Is there some way of forcing the "always-on" pool?

Hey everyone, it's been a busy few months working on the DP-700 content! But it's mostly finished now - best of luck to everyone taking the exam in the coming days and weeks! What are you working on this week? Also... I'll be posting more in this community again going forward 😀 ESPECIALLY as next week is FabCon - I was speaking to some Microsoft people last night and there are LOTS of interesting announcements to be made! Some questions for you ahead of FabCon: - Is anyone going to FabCon this year? I'm not going this year (maybe EU FabCon later in the year!) - What feature are you waiting for/ excited for? Let's hear it! Next week, I plan to post quite a bit with all the updates! I also have plans to do some collabs with Microsoft PMs for some interesting new features for the channel, so watch this space 😀
