Copy Workspace

Hi Guys,

 

I do have a dataModel that is 16GB in size.

I make use of Deployment Pipeline to change the Warehouse Connection and Pushed to Production Workspace.

 

Now I need to create a copy of that Production .pbix model (16 Gb) in size in another workspace ?

How to do it ?

 

I don't have PBI admin access to register 3rd party apps in my tenant.

Thanks for your reply.

 

As I said earlier, the size of .pbix file is 16 GB

  • it's is workspace "B" is enabled with large dataset format.
  • This Dataset is also refreshed via XMLA endpoint

 

As per Microsoft Docs, I can't even download this 16 GB .pbix file, becuase of these 2 features enabled (or) used.

Rezacad, POWER BI helper tool, will not help mw to copy workspace and I checked it as well.

 

PLeasae let me know, if there are any POWER Shell SCripts that helps me to copy.

If i need to rpublish it again, I need to push the Dev file which is 100 MB in size and with Deployment pipeline need to expand this to 16 GB in size via Parameter Change.

 

This will take long time for me.

Hi @vijay273162 ,

 

Refer this document , after deployment, downloading a dataset (from the stage it's been deployed to) isn't supported.

The current system does not support "create a copy of that Production .pbix model (16 Gb) in size in another workspace". You can post your idea to Ideas .
