How to prevent a refreshing Dataflow to get into a deadlock

[FrancescoQuara]

Occasionally the following error (with the message below retrieved from the Web UI) prevents a PowerBI Dataflow to refresh successfully. The Dataflow is running in a Workspace backed by Premium Capacity and it is built from a linked entity.

Error: Data Source Error : DataSource.Error: Microsoft SQL: Transaction (Process ID 83) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction. DataSourceKind = SQL DataSourcePath = .\cdsasqlcache

Are there any recommendations on how to prevent this from happening or any guidelines on how to troubleshoot the issue?

Hi @FrancescoQuara did anyone ever get you a response with an answer to this? We're encountering this as well when we leverage the Enhanced Compute engine and create seperate dataflows that call one another.
