Purview Profiling job failed. Unable to submit job to PFS with exception: The given key 'ukwest' was not present in the dictionary.

We have a purview instance in the UK South region and we can scan our Azure SQL Database that sits in the UK West region and return its assets. When we try to run a Data Profile, after a 5 minute wait we receive the following exception.

Are you able to help? Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround without moving the Azure SQL Database to UK South.

Hello Roye Peters,

This might be expected because region availability is restricted to UK South only. UK west is not listed as available region for unified catalog.

Please refer to: Unified Catalog Region Availability | Microsoft Learn

Hope this helps!
