Can't get OneLake Landing Zone url before files are uploaded
Hi Anonymous
Thanks for being a part of Fabric Community.
As confirmed, the behavior you're experiencing is a known limitation in Microsoft Fabric at this time — specifically, the inability to retrieve the OneLake landing zone URL before any file has been uploaded. The system currently registers and exposes the folder path only once the first artifact is written to that location.
We acknowledge this limitation and understand that it can be inconvenient when automating or integrating solutions upstream. While there's no immediate workaround to retrieve the path before upload, the current behavior is by design and documented accordingly.If your scenario requires enhancements to this behavior, we recommend submitting it as an idea via the Fabric Ideas - Microsoft Fabric Community portal so the product team can consider it for future releases.
For any other unrelated issues you face in Power BI or Fabric, please feel free to open a new case — we're here to help.
If this information helped, kindly mark it as a solution to help others in the community facing a similar question.Best regards,
Community Support Team _ C Srikanth
Some other patterns I've found from lots more clicking around:
Starting from only the Workspace page and with no other app.powerbi.com left-side tabs open for mirrored databases. When I first click on a mirrored database without tables, the Landing Zone URL does not show up.
When I first click on a mirrored database that has tables, the Landing Zone URL does show up.
If I leave both left-side tabs open, and switch from the mirrored database with tables to the mirrored database without tables, then the Landing Zone URL stays on top. So the mirrored database tabs aren't separate tab instances; they are really just the same page with a swapping of the active mirrored database.
