Dataflow refresh not running
Interim (final?) solution was to export the template (PQT) for the old not working, import the template in a new DFG2, and then set a default data destination. Made it fairly seemless.
Thanks, I will submit a ticket.
Generally, I like to follow the rule "if it's not broke, don't fix it". What would be the benefit of the DFG2 CI/CD? My team does not use GIT or Devops to maintain code nor do I see us starting any time soon.
Most of the benefits come from how tightly integrated this new version of Dataflows is to the rest of the Fabric ecosystem. No pressure to change everything to the Dataflow Gen2 with CI/CD, but definitely give it a try.
Some examples of things that are pretty noticeable and are not focused on the developer experience:
- support for multitasking. You can finally have multiple Dataflows open and go between items that you have open
- Create a dataflow directly to a subfolder
- Better experience when working with a draft of your dataflow and how you could discard changes without ever committing
- New save button in case you only want to save and not run your Dataflow
These are just a handful of the benefits, but there are more waiting for you in the new Gen2 with CI/CD experience and more in the roadmap as well.
