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?
