Create dataset in PowerBI with Rest API to Azure Analysis Services

Hi all!

 

I've been trying to create a dataset pointing to Azure Analysis Services via the REST API's:
Push Datasets - Datasets PostDatasetInGroup

 

{
"name": "ApiTestAasDataset",
"isRefreshable": false,
"isEffectiveIdentityRequired": true,
"isEffectiveIdentityRolesRequired": false,
"isOnPremGatewayRequired": false,
"datasources": [
{
"datasourceType": "AnalysisServices",
"connectionDetails": {
"server": "asazure://westeurope.asazure.windows.net/testanalysisalf:rw",
"database": "alf"
},
"connectionString": "Provider=MSOLAP;Data Source=asazure://westeurope.asazure.windows.net/testanalysisalf;Initial Catalog=alf;Cube=Model;User ID=myname@mydomain.com;Persist Security Info=True;Impersonation Level=Impersonate"
}
],
"tables": []
"defaultMode": "AsAzure"
}

 

The response it's always 400:

 

{
  "error": {
    "code": "FailedToDeserializeDatasetError",
    "pbi.error": {
      "code": "FailedToDeserializeDatasetError",
      "parameters": {},
      "details": [],
      "exceptionCulprit": 1
    }
  }
}

Any sugestions?

 

Thank you very much and best regards,

   Alfredo
