Fabric Business Events: what delivery guarantees and replay pattern should we design for?
Hi all, I am testing the newer Business Events capability in Fabric Real-Time Intelligence and trying to understand what reliability assumptions should be made for a production design. The pattern I am looking at is roughly: Eventstream → Business Event → Activator → downstream action / User Data Function with Eventhouse enabled so the published business events are also retained for historical analysis. The current documentation explains the publisher/consumer model and shows how Eventstream can publish a governed business event that Activator then consumes. What I have not been able to find clearly documented is the delivery contract between the published business event and its consumers. A few things I am trying to clarify: If an Activator consumer or downstream action is temporarily unavailable, does Fabric retry delivery of the business event? Should consumers assume at-least-once delivery and therefore be designed to handle duplicate events, or is a different delivery model used? Is event ordering guaranteed in any scope, for example for events from the same Eventstream publisher? Since published business events can also be retained automatically in Eventhouse, is that retained history intended to support replay/reprocessing after a consumer outage, or is it primarily an analytical record and replay would need to be implemented separately? Are there documented retry or delivery-retention windows that should be considered when designing an operational workflow? I am mainly trying to understand what a resilient production pattern should look like when the business event triggers something with side effects, where processing the same event twice or silently missing an event would matter. Would you generally make the downstream consumer idempotent and treat Eventhouse as an audit/recovery store, or is there a more Fabric-native pattern for this? Interested to hear how others are approaching this with Business Events and Activator.
ICS (Industial Controls Systems)/PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) Integration
Can Microsoft Fabric be integrated with ICS (Industrial Controls Systems) including PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and HMI (Human-Machine Interface)? We're interested in exploring Data Activator with our ICS information. Thank you for your time!
Error in Microsoft Applied Skills: Implement a Real-Time Intelligence Assessment Lab : Need help
Hello All, since a week I was stuck on one error in Microsoft Applied Skills: Implement a Real-Time Intelligence solution with Microsoft Fabric Lab. Did anyone face the same issue if so, can anyone help me out how to resolve it. Attaching the error and related images below. Error: It says " unable to load container blobs. Verify that workspace identity is enabled and has storage blob data reader access to the storage account" . I am familiar with this permission and have enabled it in my own azure environment for my own blob that I have created but since these are pre created by Microsoft, I don't have access to these storage blobs and hence I am not sure how to proceed here. I have attempted this twice but I was stuck at the same point. I really appreciate your help and taking time in looking into my post. Thank you so much.
Realtime - Business Events - cannot create business event shcema
Hi Has anyone succeeded in creating business event shcema? I keep getting the error "An unexpected error occourred". I have tried waiting a week but it seems we simply cannot make a "business event schema" (se screendump in appendix). Our tennant is in West Europe. Appendix - screendumps
