Power BI Refresh Error:
DF-AdobeIntegration-InvalidPartitionType

What does this error mean?

The ADF Mapping Data Flow Adobe Analytics connector rejected the partition type setting. The selected partition type (such as Hash or Dynamic Range) is not valid for the Adobe Analytics source connector.

Common causes

  • 1The source transformation Optimize tab is set to a partition type (Hash, Round Robin, or Dynamic Range) that the Adobe Analytics connector does not support
  • 2A pipeline was cloned from a SQL or file-based source and partition type settings were not reset to the Adobe Analytics-compatible option

How to fix it

  1. 1Open the failing data flow in ADF Studio and select the Adobe Analytics source transformation.
  2. 2Go to Optimize tab and set the partition option to 'Single partition'.
  3. 3Save the data flow and re-run the pipeline to confirm the error is resolved.
  4. 4If the pipeline was copied from another source type, audit all transformation Optimize settings to ensure none use SQL- or file-specific partition types.

Frequently asked questions

What partition types does the Adobe Analytics connector support?

Only Single partition — the Adobe Analytics API does not support the parallel read patterns that Hash, Round Robin, or Dynamic Range partitioning require.

Is this the same issue as DF-AdobeIntegration-InvalidPartitionConfiguration?

Related but distinct. InvalidPartitionConfiguration means the partition count or settings are invalid; InvalidPartitionType means the partition type (e.g., Hash) is unsupported. Both resolve by switching to Single partition.
