Fabric CLI help for the ln command

I am attempting to use the fab ln command to create shortcuts to ADLS Gen2 files.  I have tried variations of the following command, but with the same, non-descriptive error message as the result.  ...

    I found a solution to this after much trial and error.  The command ultimately needed the GUID of a different connectionID (i had tried the name of the different connection but that did not work, only the GUID) that had a broader user list and adjustments to the location and subpath strings.

    fab ln a********.Workspace/Subro_External_Files.Lakehouse/Tables/ext_arbitrationworkparty.Shortcut --type adlsGen2 -i '{"location":"https://********.dfs.core.windows.net/raw","subpath":"/subrogation/crm/subro_assist/arbitration/arbitrationworkparty/incoming","connectionId": "[GUID]"}'

Hello Brent_Reber 

 

Can you try creating the shortcut in the /Files area rather than /Tables? shortcut to raw files should be created under Files rather than Tables.

Changing the location of the shortcut from Tables to Files did not change the result that I am getting.  I received the same error message as I listed in my original post.
