using Try it from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/gateways/get-datasource I am able to see below JSON output by providing datasourceId and gatewayId
{ "@odata.context": "http://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/$metadata#gatewayDatasources/$entity",
"id": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx", "
gatewayId": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"datasourceType": "Web",
"connectionDetails": "{\"url\":\"https://servicesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\"}", "credentialType": "Anonymous",
"credentialDetails": { "useEndUserOAuth2Credentials": false }
}
what I want is to update "connectionDetails" by replacing "https://servocesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" with new url. so I use try it from : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/gateways/update-datasource#code-try-0
I fill up with same datasourceid and gatewayid, and provide JSON as below.
it returns error "{"error":{"code":"PowerBIEntityNotFound","pbi.error":{"code":"PowerBIEntityNotFound","parameters":{},"details":[],"exceptionCulprit":1}}}" . I believe it is due to string of new url ""{\"url\":\"https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\"}"," should not be fit with "credentials"
{
"credentialDetails":
{ "credentialType": "Anonymous",
"credentials": "{\"url\":\"https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\"}",
"encryptedConnection": "Encrypted",
"encryptionAlgorithm": "None",
"privacyLevel": "None" }
}
from Doc of PowerBI rest API, I could not find any helpful instruction about how to update "connectionDetails" for dataset in the specific gateway Please shed the light if possible. Many Thanks
When they say connection details they mean username and password. You cannot change the URL etc through this call.
is there workaround to change url?
The workaround is to recreate your connection. Much faster than wasting time on trying other avenues.
