REST API - import .rdl file fails using .NET sdk

[kevinnmo]

Hi

I have an A4 embedded instance set up using Service Principal.

I can import a paginated report .rdl file in a workspace using the PowerBI web ui.

However if I try to import the same .rdl file using the REST API via the .NET sdk using the PostImportWithFileAsyncInGroup it fails with "BadRequest" error with response 

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

I am able to import a .pbix successfully.

Does anyone have any ideas what may cause this?

Thanks

hi @kevinnmo ... you  can try this for 

What we know: official support + real-world problems

• The official Power BI REST APIs documentation says that .rdl files are supported for import (via the imports or imports/inGroup endpoint). Microsoft Learn+2Microsoft Learn+2

• For .rdl, the docs require that the datasetDisplayName query parameter include the .rdl extension (e.g. myReport.rdl). Microsoft Learn+1

• The docs also recommend using the official C# SDK (Microsoft.PowerBI.Api) when uploading .rdl files. Microsoft Learn+1

Did you ever resolve this issue? I am experiencing the same and can't find any docs or posts that help.
