Import a json dataflow config

Anonymous — Thu, 13 Jun 2019 14:59:18 GMT

Hello everyone.

I created a dataflow in a Power BI workspace. This workspace is connected the SQL Server in Azure.

Now I want transfer this dataflow to another workspace. Is it possible? I exported the dataflow to a Json file but I couldn't find where import this file.

Anybody knows how to do it?

regards,

Marcelo.

Hi Anonymous ,

Based on my researching, PowerBI dataflow haven't provided a place to import the configure json file.

Best Regards,

Teige

Hi TeigeGao.

Thank you so much, but It's a bad news!

Is there an estimate for this functionality?

Hi Anonymous !

Unfortunately not.
I had to recreate the dataflow in my new workspace.

There is an option in dataflows to Import Model, which then presents you to select a json file.

Hi, did you actually try this though ? I've tried it and nothing happens after selecting the JSON that was previously exported and clicking OPEN. Maybe you have to modify the JSON with a new unique dataflow name ??

Hi Anonymous .

Thanks for your response.

When I needed import my model, the import model didn't exist.

Hi frano72 .

I didn't try this. As I said to Anonymous, when I needed this option didn't exist.

I recreated the flow with the same name in another workspace.

Marcelo.

1. change model.json file exported from dataflow to a different name, if you don't want to delete the old one.

2. Change AllowNativeQueries attribute in model.json to false if it's true.
