Hello,
I have a method to upload a .PBIX file to my PowerBI App, This method return a id as expected. However the reports and datasets doesn't appear on PowerBI
My Method :
public static string SendFile()
{
string[] files = { "D://David/Documents//PBIX_TEST.pbix" };
string boundary = "----------------------------" + DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString("x");
HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://api.powerbi.com/beta/myorg/imports?datasetDisplayName=PBI_TESTT");
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary;
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
httpWebRequest.KeepAlive = true;
//httpWebRequest./*Credentials*/ = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", String.Format("Bearer {0}", nsToken.TokenSingleton.Instance.token.AccessToken));
Stream memStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
byte[] boundarybytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\r\n--" + boundary + "\r\n");
string formdataTemplate = "\r\n--" + boundary + "\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{0}\";\r\n\r\n{1}";
string headerTemplate = "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{0}\"; filename=\"{1}\"\r\n Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n";
memStream.Write(boundarybytes, 0, boundarybytes.Length);
for (int i = 0; i < files.Length; i++)
{
string header = string.Format(headerTemplate, "fieldNameHere", "PBIX_TEST.pbix");
//string header = string.Format(headerTemplate, "uplTheFile", files[i]);
byte[] headerbytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(header);
memStream.Write(headerbytes, 0, headerbytes.Length);
FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(files[i], FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bytesRead = 0;
while ((bytesRead = fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
{
memStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
memStream.Write(boundarybytes, 0, boundarybytes.Length);
fileStream.Close();
}
httpWebRequest.ContentLength = memStream.Length;
Stream requestStream = httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream();
memStream.Position = 0;
byte[] tempBuffer = new byte[memStream.Length];
memStream.Read(tempBuffer, 0, tempBuffer.Length);
memStream.Close();
requestStream.Write(tempBuffer, 0, tempBuffer.Length);
requestStream.Close();
try
{
WebResponse webResponse = httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
Stream stream = webResponse.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
string var = reader.ReadToEnd();
var jsonSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var dataset = (dataset)jsonSerializer.Deserialize(var, typeof(dataset));
return dataset.Id;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
httpWebRequest = null;
}
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks

The call happens async. When you do a call to GET .../imports/{importID} do you see any error message in the status?
