REST API - import .rdl file fails using .NET sdk

[kevinnmo]

Hi

I have an A4 embedded instance set up using Service Principal.

I can import a paginated report .rdl file in a workspace using the PowerBI web ui.

However if I try to import the same .rdl file using the REST API via the .NET sdk using the PostImportWithFileAsyncInGroup it fails with "BadRequest" error with response

{"error":{"code":"RequestedFileIsEncryptedOrCorrupted","pbi.error":{"code":"RequestedFileIsEncryptedOrCorrupted","parameters":{},"details":[],"exceptionCulprit":1}}}

I am able to import a .pbix successfully.

Does anyone have any ideas what may cause this?

Thanks

This issue still persist until now. Is anybody working on it or any solution?

Hi @Anonymous 

Yes, we managed to get it working after opening a support ticket with Microsoft.

When calling the PostImportWithFileAsyncInGroup method you need to ensure that the datasetDisplayName property/argument ends with ".rdl" - that solves the problem!

I hope this helps

Yes it I format the name with suffix ".rdl". but my issue is fix now by using this ImportConflictHandlerMode.Abort for nameconflict.

Thankyou for the help.

There appear to be many people with this issue. Is there a definitive guide or maybe some example code that is verified to be working?
