Hello Everyone,

I hope you're all doing well.

We have a requirement to move our SQL Server database from one resource group to another within the same region. Technically, this operation is supported, and we are able to initiate the move. However, once the process starts, it gets stuck on the loading screen for over 30 minutes with no further progress.

Here is a screenshot for reference:

Has anyone come across this issue before or have any idea what might be causing it?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Munavvar Husein Shaikh

    There may be issue with portal UI.

    Please try the same with Azure cli, please follow the below MS article. 

    Validate

    To test your move scenario without actually moving resources in real time, use the az resource invoke-action command. Use this command only when you need to model the results without following through. To run this operation, you need the resource ID of the source resource group, target resource group, and each resource that you're moving.

    Use " to escape double quotes in the body of the request.
