Refresh Progress of a Semantic Model - Dynamically

[tan_thiamhuat]

How are we able to dynamically execute and monitor the refresh progress of a Semantic Model? Is the Monitoring Hub sufficient? it seems to me Monitoring Hub is only for historical analysis and alerts.

Hi @tan_thiamhuat 

you can also use Semantic Link to refresh and monitor the refresh activity. See this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/semantic-link-sempy/sempy.fabric?view=semantic-link-pyt...
Also check this to see how to:

Hi @tan_thiamhuat ,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. 

Monitoring Hub is mainly for historical tracking and alerting. If you need to dynamically trigger and monitor a semantic model refresh, you can use the Semantic Model Refresh activity in Fabric Data Factory. It allows you to run the refresh from a pipeline and monitor the status through the pipeline run.

Please go through the below document:

thanks for the reply. I was doing the DP-700 exam, and there is this question above, so I am wondering which is the correct option:

a) Monitoring Hub

b) Semantic Link in a Notebook

for a) on Monitoring Hub, which I think it cannot dynamically execute and monitor the refresh progress of a Semantic Model,  but is more for historical analysis and alerts. Am I correct? So the correct answer should be Semantic Link in a Notebook.

I recently got my DP 700 and Semantic Link is the the answer if you're looking for that.

wondering is the Fabric Community here OK to ask DP-700 questions.. if not, is there any better websites to discuss and maybe have a Study Group for some discussion?
