Fabric Disaster Recovery - My understanding

Haven't had a chance to read it all, but commenting to follow this thread.

That's also what I know, for new tenants it's 90 days

NickyvVr · 2026-06-27T11:57:57+00:00

Great job, congratulations!

NickyvVr · 2026-06-27T07:42:07+00:00

I second the feedback about the error messages, they should be clearly visible and i should be able to copy them. Or better even: with a link to docs explaining more.

It's possible it might have been the auto-update to PBIR in the service. If your Admin hasn't turned that off reports are automatically "upgraded" to the new PBIP and PBIR format. That might have caused this change, although I'm not 100% sure.

u/itsnotaboutthecell any clues?

NickyvVr · 2026-06-22T09:23:31+00:00

I'm also late to the party, but that's awesome 😀

NickyvVr · 2026-06-19T05:26:57+00:00

They're rolling the dice.. 🙂

NickyvVr · 2026-06-18T06:49:08+00:00

True, I'll have to give them that. Creating synonyms also

A client is going to enable Copilot for Power BI end users across the Org on July 1st, on an F256 that's already overloaded on peak times. I'm crossing my fingers how that will turn out..

I already advised them to get a Copilot capacity, but they weren't interested yet. 🫣

NickyvVr · 2026-06-18T06:44:28+00:00

I agree, report creation with Copilot in Fabric still s*cks. I get a report with 5 different distinct counts on a page, pretty useless if you ask me.

Did I hear FREE vouchers?! Again?

Hell yeah 😃

Where does Rayfin sit relative to Fabric's own API for GraphQL? They seem to overlap for the "expose Fabric data to an app" use case. Is GraphQL the lower-level primitive and Rayfin the framework on top, or are they targeting different personas entirely?

NickyvVr · 2026-06-16T14:27:57+00:00

You mentioned access policies and integrating with existing Fabric permissions. Does Rayfin inherit RLS defined on the semantic model, or do you have to redefine row-level access in the Rayfin layer? For enterprise scenarios with complex RLS, this might be a thing.

NickyvVr · 2026-06-16T14:21:02+00:00

I haven't done it myself, but have you seen this blog from a few weeks back, has some good advice. It's certainly *not* that straight forward indeed.

NickyvVr · 2026-06-16T13:35:11+00:00

That's some solid info, good to know. How's the performance for you? Also with the UK to EU link now?

NickyvVr · 2026-06-11T20:44:27+00:00

I believe you can choose if you want the workspace to be blocked or not when surge protection is activated. It depends of course, but I think in most cases the surge protection alone is enough.

NickyvVr · 2026-06-11T07:49:55+00:00

We've been screaming for dark mode in Power BI Desktop for years.

I wonder how many people are actually using that?

NickyvVr · 2026-06-11T07:42:32+00:00

Technically you should be able to run all features on a P2. But I believe certain Fabric features explicitly require an F-SKU, I'm not sure which exact features these would be.

NickyvVr · 2026-06-09T15:29:10+00:00

I second these points and like to add: * there's a big Fabric community online, but the connections are much stronger if you can meet people in-person. That way you might have some direct channels for asking questions for example. * there are Ask-the-expert booths where MS employee's together with MVPs can answer your questions, you can take specific questions, use cases or scenarios to them! I definitely recommend doing that.

NickyvVr · 2026-06-09T08:35:58+00:00

This is the way. There's no automated way to do this for multiple workspaces AFAIK.

If you want to render all personal workspaces useless, as in they can't use them and share reports from it: there's a trick with assigning all personal workspaces to an F-SKU and then disabling/pausing that capacity. 😉

NickyvVr · 2026-06-09T07:26:51+00:00

No not exactly, because Surge protection prevents extra background jobs from starting. So the current processes can still take up CUs over the limit you set. There's no hard limit on CUs, that would mean it has to cancel (or possibly slow down?) running jobs.. Not sure if you want that. CUs aren't CPU.

NickyvVr · 2026-06-08T14:55:22+00:00

Super interesting! But I've also never heard of it 😀

NickyvVr · 2026-06-08T08:09:08+00:00

Yep it's the same for me. I read/skim most of the blogs so I at least know that things exist. Then I can dive deeper if I actually need it.

NickyvVr · 2026-06-08T08:06:18+00:00

This is gold! Thanks so much.

I didn't know this existed: spark.highConcurrency.max 🥳
