Using Analysis Services REST API for PowerBI XMLA-enabled datasets

Hi community,

 

We're trying to refine the refresh process of our datasets by refreshing only certain tables/partitions and we would like to use the Analysis Service REST API to do so (Asynchronous refresh for Azure Analysis Services models | Microsoft Docs).

 

We already have enabled the XMLA r/w capability and we already are managing our datasets like any AS tabular datasets. However, I'm struggling with the REST API, as I cannot find the correct endpoint to manage my PowerBI dataset through the AAS REST API.... hoping this is possible....

 

It would be a way better than using PowerShell cmdlets to invoke TMSL scripts, as the REST API is easy to implement into an Azure Data Factory pipeline.

 

Thanks for any suggestion, if anyone has already experimented this.

    Thanks for your reply, yeah it seems unfortunately not available for now....

    We will probably go for an azure function triggered by an azure data factory pipeline.

    Hi there

     

    As far as I currently know whilst you can do this for AAS, this is not possible for Power BI Premium datasets with XMLA enabled.
