Processing Data and Working in Tabular Editor at the same time

Hi

 

Can one Process the model (to refresh data) in Visual Studio and also work on measures in Tabular Editor at the same time?

 

My data is taking a long time to refresh and I can't continue with development work on the model in the meantime.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Sorry for delay. If these two processes (refresh model data in VS and process data in MS) are carried out at the same time, there should be no conflict. Unless you change some filtering settings for roles in VS, some of the original role settings in the existing MS will be overwritten when you deploy again...

Best Regards

OK, so it seems that you can reprocess the data via MS (Process Database or individual table) only, but you have to Deploy the Solution in VS first.

 

The Deploy process the "metadata/rules/measures" etc and the processing in MS applies the data.

 

Thus you can continue to develop in VS whilst the DB/Tabular Model data is being refreshed via MS.

 

Can somebody confirm this for me, please?
