Hi,
I have created a dataflow in a workspace that is in dedicated capacity. I receive the following error when I try to refresh the dataflow:
Refresh has failed unexpectedly. This indicates in most cases an out of memory issue in your capacity. Please check the capacity configuration metrics and try again
I have checked the capacity metrics and all seems fine there.
Has someone faced a similar issue?
Hi , I just solved this issue, by
-going to my dataset setting.
-expainding the 'Enhanced compute engine settings'
-setting it to 'disabled'
This 'feature' has caused me some grief on another dataset that relied on a REST Api.
Hi @vanessa ,
Sorry to disturb you...
But did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
If not, please upload some insensitive data samples and expected output.

Hi @vanessa ,
It's recommended that you have at least two times more space available than your dataset for refresh.
