Hi RuiRomanoMS 

 

im connecting to a semantic model in a power bi service workspace (App workspace and not in my personal workspace) which is on a premium capacity if that helps. Using connector "Power BI Datasets"

Looking into the connectionType of the definition.pbir (pbiserviceOnPremLive) you should be connected to a semantic model in the service that is connected to an Analysis Services database (AAS or SQL). Can you confirm that?

Unfortunately Git Integration does not support Analysis Services semantic models (not hosted in Power BI) - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/cicd/git-integration/git-integration-process#general-limitations 

Cannot share a concrete timeline, but we are working to support those scenarios before GA.

    This is what i see in definition.pbir file for the report.

     

    The semantic model im connected to in Power BI Service has storage mode "Import". The sementic model is not connected to an SSAS or AAS instance.

      Any toughts or ideas around this RuiRomanoMS ?

       

      I dont see a way to implement GIT for Power BI on a large organizational scale if you cant handle the reports connected to a semantic model.

        If you are live connect to a import model the connectionType should not be of type 'pbiserviceonpremlive', should be 'pbiServiceXmlaStyleLive'. If you are live connected to a import model and still seeing 'pbiserviceonpremlive' its a bug. Can you please open a support ticket.
        Are you using the latest Power BI Desktop version?
        Can you share the connectionString property? You shared before, but I cannot see the datasource value. I dont need the full address just the initial chars "powerbi://api.powerbi.com*"
