Clone an import semantic model with all data and rename clone.
For the deployment pipeline approach you can find a step by step guide here:
Get started using deployment pipelines, the Fabric Application lifecycle management (ALM) tool - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn.If you also want to automate this, check out the possibilities of Fabric CI/CD (fabric-cicd). But for this I dont know any step by step guide.
I have reviewed but none have actually give me any way forward. I really am after code examples or components that show how to do this. I have tried many attempts but have been blocked by read only functionality when trying to clone the import model with data. And I do not want to have to export and reimport. There must be a way to clone an import model with data and save it to a different name easily, but need examples. Thanks
Super UserIf you are after code, then of course my and the answer from Kedar_Pande do not fit as they are low-code/no-code 😂
Why are you sticking with code?
Another important thing for the approach is to know if you cloned semantic model shall run indepentend after the "clone" process or still have a connection to the original?
Well, does not have to be code, but step by step instructions. I need to automate the cloning of the datasets so if I can do that with powerAutomate, or a pipeline or something else, then great, but just looking for specific examples. I assumed that running a Notebook and doing it through pyspark would be the only option as not a lot appears to be easy in Fabric, but happy so see examples to the contrary.
