Hi,
I have a number of pipelines in the same workspace, they all run successfully. I have created a master pipeline, to orchestrate these using the 'Invoke pipeline' activity.
When I try to run the master pipeline I get this error on the first activity
Failed to resolve connection 'xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxx' referenced in activity run 'xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx'. ErrorCode: 'DMTS_OAuthTokenRefreshFailedError'. ErrorMessage: 'null'.
If I deactivate that activity, the next Invoke pipeline activity errors with the same type of error.
I have checked that the child pipelines all run when called directly, and I have checked and refreshed the connection being used in Settings.
I'm not really sure how to proceed...anyone got an suggestions?
Cheers,
Jeff

Hi @jj44,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.
Based on the error looks like here the runtime could not refresh the OAuth credential for a linked service. Please follow below steps:
After updating the authentication, test the connection again and re-run your master pipeline, this will permanently prevent the token refresh failures.
Thanks and regards,

Hi @v-achippa
Yes, fully re-authenticating, rather than refreshing the connection did fix the problem.
Yes, I agree a more permanent solution is to use a service principal - on our list of things to be done.
Many thanks for your suggestions.
Jeff
Hi @jj44 ,
I have faced the same issue in invoke pipeline activity with Service Principal yesterday. It was throwing error as " Item with same key is already added".
After re-authenticating with same Service Principal details. It worked.
Microsoft needs to investigate this Invoke Pipeline error.
Thanks,
Srisakthi
