I am currently doing a database migration from AAAAA01 database server to BBBBB01 server. All of my power bi pbix files (>100) are pointing to the same source (i.e. AAAAA01 server DB XXX ) now, and I am looking for a way to change the AAAAA01 server XXX DB to BBBBB01 server and DB YYY for all the dashboards files in one go instead of opening each of them and change it one by one.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Since this is a meta data change you will end up opening each of them anyway.
One approach is to use parameters for server and database. Then you can change these parameters in the service, programmatically via the API

Thank you.
Actually I find this solution by myself yesterday. I tried and it is successful, but it takes time to redo all my 100 dashboards. But it seems worth the time to reconfig. Hopefully next time when I change the DB connection, I can use the parameterised method through API.
