Unable to create airflow job

angela_n — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 19:01:52 GMT

Hello Community,

Since yesterday, I have been trying to create an Airflow job, and I keep getting this error:

{"message"."Request failed with 500(Internal Server Error): {\"error\":
{\"code\":\"RequestExecutionFailed\"\"pbi.error\":{\"code\":\"RequestExecutionFailed\"}}},
\nrequestid: 3ef3ae54-33f0-7abe-0149-28b28cc70fb1"}

I tried in different workspaces, and I get the same error.

I am trying to test if you can trigger an Airflow DAG using the Aiflow API.

Thanks,

Ang

Hi angela_n, first check if you capacity region is with the Airflow region availability. If your region is not in the list, that might be the cause of the error.

And as mentioned in this similar post, it might be just a temporary glitch and it might be suddenly working tomorrow.

Hope this helps. If so, please give a Kudos 👍 or mark as Accepted Solution ✔️.

Hello angela_n,

Since Apache Airflow in Fabric is a managed service that requires specific backend provisioning, a 500 error usually implies the service failed to allocate the necessary compute resources or containers for your instance.

This is often caused by one of three things:

Region unavailability: New feature, so Apache Airflow Jobs are not yet available in all Azure regions where Fabric is deployed.
Tenant Setting Restrictions: The feature is disabled at the Tenant level, in preview.
Verify Capacity Assignment : Airflow Jobs require a genuine Fabric Capacity (F-SKU) or a Trial capacity. Not possible on Power BI Pro or PPU.

Hope it can help you!

Best regards,

Antoine

Hi nielsvdc

My capacity is East US, which is listed as supported.

I also tried re-logging in, using a different browser, and clearing the cache, but I'm still getting the same message. At this point, it seems like a platform issue on Microsoft's side.

If this is indeed a known glitch, I'm wondering why it's not reflected on the Service Health page, since everything currently shows as green.

Given that the UI isn't working, I also attempted to create the Airflow job via Terraform. After waiting almost 10 minutes, the operation failed with the error "Context deadline exceeded."

Let me know if there's any update or workaround I may have missed.

Thanks

It's working in my region, West Europe. Maybe create a support ticket with Microsoft to see if they can help you solve your problem. Fabric Support
