Hi all,
Trying to automate the pause/resume process in Azure using Automation accounts and Runbooks.
I thought I'd found a neat solution with a cmdlet Suspend-AzureRmPowerBIEmbeddedCapacity
However, it doesnt seem compatible with Azure runbooks:
Suspend-AzureRmPowerBIEmbeddedCapacity : The term 'Suspend-AzureRmPowerBIEmbeddedCapacity' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Anyone have success with this or using a powershell script?
Checkout the Modules section of your Automation Account and make sure that AzureRM.PowerBIEmbedded is present
Making a little progress - new to Azure automation
Need to add AzureRM.PowerBIEmbedded module to the Automation account.
This can be obtained from here: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/AzureRM.PowerBIEmbedded/4.1.3
I still have an error,
Suspend-AzureRmPowerBIEmbeddedCapacity : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Anyone had this?
Did you have the solution for this?
Hi
Has anyone successfully suspend the service programatically?
Ive changed tact and trying a local POST to the Azure service, but running into 403 errors
