Paginated Reports not loading
I have a few paginated reports deployed to a premium workspace and have had no issues up until now. This morning, I was supposed to receive a subscription, but did not, so I went to investigate a...
- 6 years agoSo it turns out it’s an issue connecting to the source DB. I’m running a serverless Azure SQL DB with auto pause enabled and it appears that the connection attempt isn’t waking up the server like it should.
So Microsoft’s suggestion is to have another report run just before it, which will fail, then the next one should succeed 😕
I don’t like this option, so I’m just going to change the time the report executes to a little bit later, as there is a data factory pipeline that runs and it starts the instance.

Ahh very interesting and I too also run Serverless DB and I have an Azure function which wakes it up before I actually query the DB.
Thanks for letting us know.

GilbertQ yes it is interesting. This is the second time I have had an issue with unpausing the DB (the first was with ADF). Do you mind sharing the code you used for your function? I was going to create one that just attempts to create a connection with a timeout of 120 seconds or something.
- GilbertQ6 years agoSuper UserHi there
I created an Azure Function which just calls the SQL Serverless DB with a basic query.
