Can thin reports be deployed via the API?

Hi,

 

I am using "Selective Deploy" to deploy certain artifacts from my Dev -> Test workspaces via their deployment pipeline. This works fine with my service principal when the dataset and report reside in the same workspace. I am now attempting to use this same method to depoy thin reports, so just the report as the dataset resides in another workspace but I receive the error: "Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request)":

 

Report and dataset body:

 

$body =
                @{
                    sourceStageOrder = $stageOrder
                    datasets = @(
                        @{sourceId = $datasetId }
                    )
                    reports = @(
                        @{sourceId = $reportArtifact.artifactId }
                    )    
                    options = @{
                        allowCreateArtifact = $TRUE
                        allowOverwriteArtifact = $TRUE
                    }
                } | ConvertTo-Json
 
Thin report body:
 
$body =
                @{
                    sourceStageOrder = $stageOrder
                    reports = @(
                        @{sourceId = $reportArtifact.artifactId }
                    )    
                    options = @{
                        allowCreateArtifact = $TRUE
                        allowOverwriteArtifact = $TRUE
                    }
                } | ConvertTo-Json
 
Thanks.

Hi @powerbi_jenhen ,

 

As far as I know, report is created based on dataset. Though the dataset is not in the same workspace, you need to add the source ID of dataset in your body code.

The user must at least be a member on both source and target deployment workspaces. For more information, see Permissions.

For reference: Pipelines - Selective Deploy
