Dear Techies,
I was successfully able to upload PBIX files to PBI Service using Import API. Now, I am trying to update the connection string using SetAllConnections API. The dataset that I am trying to update is using SQL Server as source and DirectQuery mode
Below is my query snippet, I am getting 404 bad request error
private static void UpdateConnection(string DatasetID)
{
string powerBIDatasetsApiUrl =String.Format("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/myorg/datasets/{0}/Default.SetAllConnections",DatasetID);
HttpWebRequest request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(powerBIDatasetsApiUrl) asSystem.Net.HttpWebRequest;
request.KeepAlive = true;
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentLength = 0;
request.ContentType = "application/json";
//Add token to the request header
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", String.Format("Bearer {0}", token));
string updateJSON = "{\"connectionString\":\"data source=XXXXX;initial catalog=XXXXX;persist security info=True;encrypt=True;trustservercertificate=False\"}";
//POST web request
byte[] byteArray = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(updateJSON);
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
//Write JSON byte[] into a Stream
using (Stream writer = request.GetRequestStream())
{
writer.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); ----Error at this line
//Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Dataset {0}", response.StatusCode.ToString()));
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Am I missing something? Please help
Thanks,
Latheesh
There'a actually an error in the Set All Connections API which leads to a 404 error. Try to remove the duplicated /myorg from the Url .../myorg/myorg/...
Thanks Eric,
I even tried removing myorg, but my error didn't get resolved.

Where is the dataset in your case? If in some group, you'll specify the groupid in the POST request url. Can you double comfirm that the datasetid is correct?
