Links to nested notebook snapshots not loading

[NotebookEnjoyer]

I have notebooks in which I run multiple other notebooks via mssparkutils.notebook.run(), which works fine. However, when I want to see snapshots of the sub-runs, the links aren't loading in the top-level snapshot, which looks like this:

(Don't mind the printed stuff, that's from me.)

What can I do?

This is not possible to get the snapshots of sub-runs. The correct way is to run with mssparkutils.notebook.run().

I think you're missing the point. I AM running the notebooks with mssparkutils.notebook.run(), and seeing the snapshots of these delegated runs worked fine until one or two months ago.

I think you have to understand that Microsoft is constantly updating the documentation. First, I think so before a year ago, there was bronze, silver and gold. Now they change the silver to Materialized views. 

Choose beforehand, whether you wanna to go to notebooks or dataflow gen 2 to refresh the  tables or multiple notebooks with 

# Note: NotebookUtils is only supported on runtime v1.2 and above. If you are using runtime v1.1, please use mssparkutils instead.

DAG = {

    "activities": [

        {

            "name": "NotebookSample", # activity name, must be unique

            "path": "NotebookSample", # notebook path

            "timeoutPerCellInSeconds": 90, # max timeout for each cell, default to 90 seconds

            "args": {"p1": "changed value", "p2": 666}, # notebook parameters

        },

        {

            "name": "NotebookSimple2",

            "path": "NotebookSimple2",

            "timeoutPerCellInSeconds": 120,

            "args": {"p1": "changed value 2", "p2": 777}

        },

        {

            "name": "NotebookSample2.2",

            "path": "NotebookSample2",

            "timeoutPerCellInSeconds": 120,

            "args": {"p1": "changed value 3", "p2": 888},

            "retry": 1,

            "retryIntervalInSeconds": 10,

            "dependencies": ["NotebookSample"] # list of activity names that this activity depends on

        }

    ]

}

notebookutils.notebook.runMultiple(DAG)

For thaqt, you have to understand the concept of databricks delta lake and Microsoft.

Better to run using User Interface wherver possible.

Hi @NotebookEnjoyer,

Thank you for the clarification. Since the snapshot links for mssparkutils.notebook.run() were working earlier and have recently stopped, this could be due to a platform-level regression.

I recommend raising a support ticket with Microsoft Fabric Support for deeper investigation, as they can access backend logs and confirm if any recent updates have impacted this functionality.

Thank you.

I have submitted a ticket and will post an update if anything comes of it.

Hi @NotebookEnjoyer,

Could you please confirm if the issue has been resolved after raising the support ticket?

Thank You.

What do you mean? I literally wrote "I have submitted a ticket and will post an update"???

I'm sorry to have no better answer, but the issue disappeared yesterday. It takes quite a while to load the fancier new snapshot link layout with the progress bar and such, but it just works. The ticket is thus closed.
