    Hello SreeAravindM,

     

    Can you confirm that you receive a 200 OK with an empty result [] (rather than a 403 Forbidden or 500 Error) ? 

    If no "Background" activities occurred during the specific time window you are querying, that table will return an empty list [].

     

    Fabric divides all operations into two buckets.

    Interactive Operations:

      • Opening a Power BI Report.

      • Clicking visuals (filtering/slicing).

      • Running a query in DAX Studio or SQL Management Studio.

      • Result: These appear in TimePoint Interactive Detail (or similar tables), NOT in Background Detail.

    • Background Operations:

      • Scheduled Refreshes (Semantic Models, Dataflows). 

      • Spark Job executions (Notebooks).

    Hope it can help you,

    Best regards !
