Dataflows Are Disabled

We have configured dataflows in a specific workspace.

These dataflows shall be used in other workspaces. License mode for all workspaces are premium 

Since a couple of days the datasets in which the dataflow is being used isn't refreshed. When I try to open the dataflow from the dataset, nothing happens and only an exclamation mark apperars.

When I click on one of the exclamation marks the message "Dataflows are disabled" is shown.

Can anyone tell what problem here might be?

Dataflows are enabled for the entire organization:

Hey @m_andel ,

 

Ok, not as easy as I had hoped 😀!  When you select the elipses and look at Settings is there an error message on that screen (or a message that says why)?  When you look at the Refresh History, what does it show for the failure reason?

In the dataset's settings I can not find any error. the refresh history says the latest refreshes where completed:

The dataset looks like this:

Dataflow 1 and Dataflow 2 are in a remote workspace of the same capacity.

 

When I open the dataflow, only the exclamation mark behind dataflow 1's refresh time is shown. When I click on it it shows the refresh history of the dataflow. (Unfortunately the dataflow doesn't refresh successfully currently. Can this be the problem?)

 

Dataflow 2 does refresh successfully. But when I click on the dataflow's name, nothing happens, but the exclamation mark behind the date under "Refreshed" appears and when I click on that exclamation mark only the dialog saying "Dataflows are disabled" appear. 

The same happens when I click on the dataflow 1's name.

 

Hey @m_andel ,

 

Since you are getting two resuts that seem in conflict, I recommend opening a ticket with Microsoft and then let us know the result.  The reason for the ticket is that only Microsoft has access to the logs/service to let you know what might be happening.

Hey @m_andel ,

 

That seems to me like the message you get when the Power BI Admin disabled Dataflows.  i would confirm with the admin that the "Gen1 dataflow settings" are ENabled (if not for the organization, at least for you).
