Warehouse Fabric GUI does not update

Hi together, I am facing the problem that my fabric warehouse does not update the schemas and tables right. 

It throws following error: 

Leider ist ein Problem aufgetreten.

Fehler bei der SQL-Abfrage während der Ausführung. Message=[METADATA DB] <ccon>Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.</ccon>, Code=-2, State=0

 

When I open the warehouse for example in Azure Data Studio everything is fine. 

 

Does anyone have an idea how to solve it?

 

Kind regards, 

Alex

    Hello Alexander_Faber ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric community forum. The error you're seeing indicates a timeout issue in the Fabric UI, while Azure Data Studio is functioning correctly. Also thank you nilendraFabric  for your inputs

     

    To fix this, try manually refreshing the schema by going to Warehouse > Manage Tables > Refresh Schema. If your queries are large, they might be timing out before completion, so consider breaking them into smaller parts for better performance.

     

    If you're using Power BI, increase the Command Timeout in File > Options & Settings > Options > Query Execution. Additionally, try pausing and resuming the warehouse from the Fabric UI or reconnecting the SQL Endpoint via Settings > Manage Connections > Reconnect SQL Endpoint.

     

    Check your Fabric capacity and resource limits, as heavy workloads can cause timeouts. If the issue persists, verify the Fabric Service Health Dashboard for any outages.

     

    I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out.

      I have opened a ticket for that and support is still investigating the issue.

        Using parts of this code I can find also batch jobs of type Monitor on the SQL endpoint
        Workaround for delays in the automatically generated schema in the SQL analytics endpoint of the Lakehouse in Fabric | by Mark Pryce-Maher | Medium
        These batch jobs also list the new tables. But there are other jobs with a refresh action from the UI that turns up with an error:

      Hi Alex,
      Thank you for the link.
      The support engineer told us that a way to mitigate the issue was restarting (Pause/Resume) the Fabric capacity. We had a Premium capacity, in which case the support was able to do the restart for us.

  • Hello Alexander_Faber 

     

    Fabric Warehouse operations often fail due to transient connectivity or backend delays.

     

    from MS Doc

     

    "

    Transient connection errors

    A transient error, also known as a transient fault, has an underlying cause that soon resolves itself. If a connection to Warehouse used to work fine but starts to fail without changes in user permission, firewall policy, and network configuration, try these steps before contacting support:

    1. Check the status of Warehouse and ensure it's not paused.
    2. Don't immediately retry the failed command. Instead, wait for 5 to 10 minutes, establish a new connection, then retry the command. Occasionally Azure system quickly shifts hardware resources to better load-balance various workloads. Most of these reconfiguration events finish in less than 60 seconds. During this reconfiguration time span, you might have issues with connecting to your databases. Connection could also fail when the service is being automatically restarted to resolve certain issues.
    3. Connect using a different application and/or from another machine."

    if issue persists worth raising a support ticket. 

    if this is helpful please accept the answer

      For me the error appears in a lakehouse not a warehouse. The issue persists since 2 days.
