How are you running this process? You could export and import the file to the new workspace

Hi Walter, thanks for the quick response

This is an export which I did long ago from my earlier workspace. Now when I am importing into my new workspace using databricks community edition it throws error. No such file or directory

Please let me know if any other details required

A similar error occurs for me as well. I even tried importing a very small 5KB file, but it didn’t work. This doesn’t seem to be an issue related to file size limitations.

Can you confirm if as @Takuya-Omi you also have issues importing any other file, it can be a csv or any other file type

I tested all supported file formats, and the same error occurred with each one.

Hi,

I found a work around :

Step 1: If you are using Azure or AWS create an instance of databricks workspace

Step 2: Once the workspace is ready, import your dbc(databricks Archive) file.

Step3: This will surely show all the files within the dbc

Step4: Export your notebooks as HTML so that you can easily view over browser

Step5: Delete the resource group on Azure or AWS and delete all instances on provider so that you will not get

charged

Hope this will be helpful
