Known issue - Data Warehouse not accessible when using OneLake URLs with friendly names

You can try to access files and folders within a data warehouse through an API, Azure Storage Explorer, or another client tool. Due to this issue, the access fails if you try to connect using a friendly name in the OneLake URL. A friendly name contains the name of the data warehouse rather than the data warehouse globally unique identifier (GUID). Examples of URLs that contain friendly names are https://onelake.dfs.fabric.microsoft.com//.datawarehouse// and abfs[s]://@onelake.dfs.fabric.microsoft.com/.datawarehouse//.

Status: Fixed: November 5, 2024

Product Experience: OneLake

Symptoms

When trying to access the content of a data warehouse, you receive an error message similar to: Operation has failed. For example, in Azure Storage Explorer, you see No data available when you try to open a warehouse item.

Solutions and workarounds

Accessing data continues to work with globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) as expected. Use the GUID process to access data warehouses.
