How to manage report versions on Power BI Report Server?

Anonymous — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 08:58:57 GMT

Hi,

Is there a way to manage versions of a .pbix file published on my Power BI Report Server (on-premises) please? Any plugin ?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Camille

Hi,

You can use ReportingServicesTools. It's PowerShell module for RS.

Try to use import and upload functions to prepare manage version mechanizm.

I'm not aware of any plugins or tools that do this well.

We use a powershell script that we run every 15 minutes. It downloads any amended or new reports onto disk and saves them with a timestamp. It doesn't catch every version but it does mean you have more than the last version on the server.

You can also use it to do a full backup of the server.
