Deployment Pipeline Power BI Items - Can't deploy workspace

[johanbroman]

Hi,

Getting an error when deploying between two Workspaces in Deployment Pipeline. Error is "Can't deploy workspace - This workspace's capacity is not available in your region."

Items I want to deploy are Power BI Items (Semantic Model and Report). This page says "Only Power BI items can be deployed to a workspace in a different capacity region" - and it has worked before.

The Workspaces are PP3 in North Europe and A1 West Europe

I think this must be a Microsft bug as we have the same problem, was fine a couple of days ago.

Yes ended up with that conclusion yesterday as well. Must be a new bug introduced. I ran it 2024-10-21 without issues as the most recent date from my side

Other Fabric items can't be deployed to a workspace in a different capacity region.
You need to be 100 % sure you are deploying the Power BI items.

[johanbroman]

Yes, it is a Semantic Model and a Report

[Murtaza_Ghafoor]

What region are you in ?

[johanbroman]

Azure Tenant Properties says Country or region Sweden

The first Workspace in the Pipeline says Region: North Europe (SKU: PP3)

The second Workspace in the Pipeline says Region: West Europe (SKU: A2)

Hi, Getting an 

The "Can't deploy work" error in a Power BI Deployment Pipeline typically indicates permission or configuration issues between the source and target workspaces. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot:

1. Check Permissions:

   • Ensure that you have Admin or Member permissions in both the source and target workspaces. Contributor access may not be sufficient.

2. Capacity Assignment:

   • Verify that both workspaces are assigned to the same Power BI Premium capacity. Deployment between workspaces in different capacities can lead to errors.

3. Dataset Dependencies:

   • Check if there are any linked datasets or dataflows in the source workspace. Make sure the target workspace has access to these data sources or that they’re also deployed to the target workspace.

Considerations and limitations

This section lists most of the limitations in deployment pipelines.

• The workspace must reside on a Fabric capacity.
• The maximum number of items that can be deployed in a single deployment is 300.
• Downloading a .pbix file after deployment isn't supported.
• Microsoft 365 groups aren't supported as pipeline admins.
• When you deploy a Power BI item for the first time, if another item in the target stage has the same name and type (for example, if both files are reports), the deployment fails.
• For a list of workspace limitations, see the workspace assignment limitations.
• For a list of supported items, see supported items. Any item not on the list isn't supported.
• The deployment fails if any of the items have circular or self dependencies (for example, item A references item B and item B references item A).
• Only Power BI items can be deployed to a workspace in a different capacity region. Other Fabric items can't be deployed to a workspace in a different capacity region.

Hi

I have a ticket raised with MS that confirmed this behaviour is a bug yesterday.  Fix is scheduled to be deployed to production 16th November

Suggested workaround from the Engineering team is to move the workspace to the same capacity or region, but I'm sure you all thought of that already

[johanbroman]

Thanks, but last point on the list says that "...Power BI items can be deployed to a workspace in a different capacity region"

So why do I get an error saying the below?

Can't deploy workspace

This workspace's capacity is not available in your region.
