I am trying to develop an Azure Logic App to automate some very painful aspects of our deployment/customer provisioning processes. Part of that process involves uploading a reference PBIX to the Power BI service (and subsequently setting parameters/gateway settings).
I have a PBIX file in Azure blob storage, and I read the contents of it using the Get Blob Content action. When I call the Imports API (using a basic Logic Apps HTTP action), I am getting a 400 (bad request) response. Initially I was simply getting Unknown Error as the response, but now at least I have reached the point where I am getting a MultiPartMimeStreamFormatException:
{
"error": {
"code": "MultiPartMimeStreamFormatException",
"pbi.error": {
"code": "MultiPartMimeStreamFormatException",
"parameters": {},
"details": [],
"exceptionCulprit": 1
}
}
}
However I can't figure out what this exception means or why it is happening. I have pored over all the docs -- which are very thin -- and this blog post from more than three years ago announcing the beta of this API, and I have reviewed the official W3 specs for submitting a file as multipart form data. My raw submission (below) appears to match the format described in that blog post.
Here's my request:
{

"headers": {
"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=----------------abcdefg12345"
},
"authentication": {

"type": "Raw"
},
"body": "----------------abcdefg12345\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"files\"; filename=\"MasterTemplate.pbix\"\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\n\nPK\u0003\u0004\u0014\u0000\u0000\u0000\b\u0000Mu1My#\u0004�\n\u0000\u0000\u0000\b\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0007\u0000\u001c\u0000Version <TRUNCATED>"
}
