Composite Model data refresh issue

Hi Team,


I have a created a report using Composite model which has :
Data source : SQL server

Model design
Table 1, 2- Storage mode : Direct Query

Table 3 - Storage mode : Import
Table 4 - Storage mode : Import
Table 5 - Calculated table built on Table 4
Table 6 - Calculated table built on Table 5

 

Relationships :

Table 3 joined with table 5

Table 1,2 joined with table 5

Table 6 joined with Table 5

Cardinality is 1 - m  and due to the way data needs to be filtered have direction as both for some of the joins.

 

Scheduled Refresh : Daily

Issues:

- Dataset not getting refreshed even after On Demand refresh is done
- Looks like its caching onto previously selected filters or previous day data state

 

When model is opened and refreshed and dataset is DELETED and recreated it works as expected for time being.
However the data behaves the same way as mentioned in the Issues the next day or may be after some hours.

 

Can anyone help with why the refresh /caching or any other reason for why this not behaving as expected?

Thanks for your response .

 

The gateway is up and running. Only when I delete the dataset and republish I see the latest data .

It seems the calculated tables being used are not getting refreshed and the joining tables are picking up filters based on the last state.

 

Hey there,

I know this thread is from two years ago but I was wondering if you found a solution to this issue?  Thanks!
