I am trying to update the connection string of a live connection power bi report published to the service. In order to do so, I am using the "Update Datasources In Group" datasets operation of the REST API. I'm getting an "InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException" in the response. Is is possible to change connection strings of published Power BI reports in live connection mode? Below is what I am trying to do and the response that I am getting... Thanks,
