Pushing Report created from using Dataflow from Dev to Prod
- 1 year ago
Duplicating a PROD report into DEV/TEST for modifications and republishing it to PROD will not break the link if:
- The dataset remains the same (or you rebind the report to the correct PROD dataset before publishing).
- You overwrite the existing PROD report (instead of creating a new one) to maintain the report GUID.
Potential Issues:
- If DEV/TEST uses a separate dataset and the report isn’t updated to link to the PROD dataset before publishing, problems may occur.
Suggested:
- Duplicate the PROD report into DEV/TEST.
- Make modifications in DEV/TEST.
- Before republishing, ensure the report is linked to the correct PROD dataset.
- Overwrite the existing PROD report (don’t create a new one).
This ensures the link remains intact and avoids issues.
No. DEV, TEST and PROD are artificial constructs to support your development methodology. They are not required by the report user consuming your report.
