Problems using Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod to update parameters

[Dom87326]

Hello community,

I’m working with multiple workspaces, reports and using powershell script that takes simple CSV file to determine what .pbix file goes into which workspace and what parameters to update (if any).

The script is really simple. It verifies if report name (full path has been received as a command line parameter) exists in the publisher.csv file. If exists then extract all values from a corresponding row (workspace name, dataset refresh request, parameter1 and parameter2 name, parameter1 value and parameter2 value) from the publisher.csv file (based on this blog).

To test the script, I'm using hardcoded $body and $url variables with Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod REST POST call:

#Group ID and Dataset ID 
$urlbase = "groups/4bc15b4f-5dc8-49e3-aaba-XXXXXXXXXXXX/datasets/AAAAAAAA-YYYY-4cb8-898a-222261a5e0d0/"

$body = '{
	updateDetails: [
    {
      "name": "%Date",
      "newValue": "11111111"
    },
    {
      "name": "%Customer",
      "newValue": "Amazon"
    }
   ]
}'

#url and body for UpdateParameters in API call
$url = $urlbase + "UpdateParameters"

Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $url -Method Post -Body $body -ContentType application/json

However I receive following error: 

Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod : One or more errors occurred.
At C:\Users\UserName\FolderPath\Publish one report.ps1:52 char:5

Has anyone faced similar issues with this workflow? 

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Dom87326,

Are "%Date" and "%Customer" the actual paramater name? And the names were originally preceded by a prefix "%"? Is the date type of "%Date" Text type or Date type? Could you please refer the following thread to change the codes as below and check if it can work....

Update parameters through Powershell

#Group ID and Dataset ID 
$urlbase = "groups/4bc15b4f-5dc8-49e3-aaba-XXXXXXXXXXXX/datasets/AAAAAAAA-YYYY-4cb8-898a-222261a5e0d0/"

$body = '{
	updateDetails: [
    {
      "name": "%Date",
      "newValue": "11111111"
    },
    {
      "name": "%Customer",
      "newValue": "Amazon"
    }
   ]
}'

#url and body for UpdateParameters in API call
$url = $urlbase + "Default.UpdateParameters"

$content = 'application/json'

Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $url -Method Post -Body $body -ContentType $content

Best Regards
