Deployment Pipelines & Front End Visual Failures

Hey again!

Thanks for the extra details—super helpful!

Since you’ve confirmed that:

• No parameters are involved,
• Manual deployment to Test works fine,
• Gateway and service account setup is consistent,

…it really does sound like something in the Deployment Pipeline process itself is causing the issue.

A couple of thoughts:

• Deployment Rules: Even if you’re not using parameters, are there any dataset rules defined in the pipeline that might be altering something silently? Sometimes even a small rule (like changing a connection string or table mapping) can break relationships or cause tables to not load.
• Model Binding: Pipelines might be re-binding the dataset in a way that breaks the internal metadata or relationships. That could explain why the Calendar table seems disconnected and the Fact table appears empty.
• Refresh Timing: After deployment via pipeline, is there an automatic refresh happening? If not, the dataset might be in a stale state until manually refreshed.

Since manual deployment works fine, one workaround (for now) might be to deploy manually until the root cause is clearer. But I’d definitely recommend raising this with Microsoft support too—it feels like a pipeline bug or unexpected behavior.
