Can the native Semantic model refresh pipeline activity toggle applyRefreshPolicy?
We would like to trigger a Power BI semantic model refresh (configured with an incremental refresh policy) from a Fabric pipeline, using a blob event trigger after our data load completes. Normally we want this to respect the incremental policy, but occasionally we need to force a full historical reprocess instead, i.e. applyRefreshPolicy: false, same as we can do via the Power BI REST API or sempy.fabric.refresh_dataset(apply_refresh_policy=False) in a notebook.
Is there a way to control this directly from the native Semantic model refresh pipeline activity, without falling back to a Web Activity/REST call or a Spark-backed Notebook activity just for the occasional full refresh?
Hi katarzynam,
I don't believe that the Semantic model refresh activity supports this.
I would recommend using a HTTP activity to send the API request directly, or to use a notebook for a full refresh.
