Connections not showing up in Lookup Activity

My colleague is trying to connect to a connection I created via a lookup activity in Fabric Data Factory

However, when they click on connections, we get a "something went wrong" error

For reference:

- This same thing works for me, and I can see all of our connections

- We are using the Free Trial

- We are both Admins in the workspace, and all users have been added to the data sources as per the documentation

Any thoughts on what the issue may be?

The problem has been resolved. We fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling the browser (Google Chrome) and that seemed to do the trick.

Hi, what I suppose you are trying to do based on the screenshots is that your collegue wants to use a connection in Data Flow Gen2 which was created by you in a Lookup activity using Data Pipeline. Based on the second screenshot, your collegue is not able to view all onelake data. However, I don't think your collegue needs the onelake data, but the data from the same source as the lookup. Is the lookup created for a SQL server? If that is the case, your collegue needs to select SQL Server as the source (which I can see in the screenshot) and select the connection there. Does your collegue see the connection in the list there if the same SQL-server connection details are filled in?

Hi @Bshin ,

 

I tested using pipeline in Data factory and could not reproduce the problem you describe, it works fine on my side.

I have the following suggestions:

 

  • Try clearing your cache and cookies and logging in again.
  • Try using a different browser and see if the problem persists.

 

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.
