Upgrading a classic workspace to a new workspace

[Anonymous]

I am trying to upgrade a classic workspace to a new workspace, but it fails with an the underlying error being unknown.

This bug does not yet seem resolved as I've tried updating the workspace today and still getting same error as mentioned by @Anonymous 

Any additional steps that were taken?

Could have been a fix on my individual issue, but I wouldn't know that answer.

No additional steps taken. Submitted a ticket to PBI Support back in December and they were able to fix it by January.

Was there a resolution to this question without raising a support ticket?  I have followed the steps exactly and have the same issue.  Do I just raise a support ticket?

I had the same issue, kept getting unknown error, but found this: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Can-t-upgrade-Classical-workspace-to-new-workspace-experienc...

I also removed the logo image (same as person mentioned added and then removed image) and then my upgrade worked, bit of a faff but quicker than raising a support ticket.

Thanks @Emma_A  that helped me! I was able to succesfully upgrade the workspace after removing the image.

We're also running into the same issue and would love to know how we can resolve it ourselves without lodging a ticket.

Hi @Anonymous 

That would be great, unfortunately, there was no resolution on my issue without raising a support ticket.

Hi @v-xuding-msft ,

I did follow those steps when I got the failure message.

This was the message I received:

Has this been resolved?  I am experiencing the same issue.

@tctrout 

Yes, it was resolved. I had to submit a support ticket as it was a bug the product team had to fix.

[tctrout]

Thank you.  Do you remember the details by chance?

I was speculating that it has something to do that even though I am listed as the workspace admin, perhaps I was not listed as the group owner in the old classic workspaces.  I am still trying to troubleshoot this, but wasnt sure if I was on the right path.

I thought the same when I had the issue, but that didn't solve it, unfortunately. No details were given, just that it was a bug that PBI support escalated to the product engineering team.
