Inquiry About Migrating Components Between Workspaces in Microsoft Fabric

[jacksparrow1709]

Is it possible to migrate all components, such as Lakehouses, Warehouses, Notebooks, Pipelines, Reports and Dashboards, Dataflows, KQL Databases, and other items, from one workspace to another in Microsoft Fabric? I am looking to understand if there is a built-in tool or method that allows for seamless migration of these components, or if there are recommended approaches or best practices to achieve this within the platform.

Migrating Fabric components like Lakehouses, Warehouses, Pipelines, Dataflows, Notebooks, Reports, Dashboards, and KQL Databases across workspaces isn't fully automated, but several methods can help. Here’s how you can move different components efficiently:

1. Lakehouses & Warehouses

• OneLake Shortcuts: Instead of moving data, create a shortcut in the destination workspace to access the source Lakehouse/Warehouse.

• Data Pipelines: If a full copy is needed, use Data Pipelines to extract data from the source and load it into the destination.

• Deployment Pipelines: If your organization has access to Deployment Pipelines, you can deploy the Lakehouse to another workspace while retaining its settings.

2. Pipelines & Dataflows

Both Data Pipelines and Dataflows can be exported as JSON files and then imported into another workspace:

• Export: Open the Pipeline/Dataflow, select Export, and save the JSON file.

• Import: In the target workspace, create a new Pipeline/Dataflow and choose Import to upload the file.

3. Reports & Dashboards

• Save a Copy: For reports, click on the three dots and select "Save a copy", then choose the destination workspace.

• Download & Upload: If your report allows, you can download the .pbix file and re-upload it. This works if the report isn’t connected to a live dataset.

4. Notebooks

• Export & Import: Download the Notebook as a .ipynb file and manually upload it to the new workspace.

5. KQL Databases

• Data Pipelines for Migration: Use Data Pipelines to extract data from one KQL Database and load it into another workspace. This ensures the data is copied while maintaining its structure.

Alternative Approaches:

• GitHub Integration: If your workspace is linked to GitHub, version control could help move some components.

Currently, Microsoft Fabric doesn’t offer a one-click solution to migrate all components at once, but with the right methods like OneLake Shortcuts, JSON exports, Data Pipelines, and Deployment Pipelines—you can transfer most components effectively.

If you need help with a specific component, feel free to ask!
