Migrate power BI report between two Power BI report server environment (on-premises)

Hi there,

 

We want to set-up a deployment strategy, we have three Power bi report server environment (dev,test,prod) .

we just use power bi desktop and Power BI report server.

 

Our deployment strategy will be:

-Developers publish reports from the power bi desktop to the dev environment

-Admin will migrate reports from dev to test environment

-Admin will migrate reports from test to prod environment

 

 

the first step is retrieving catalog item, i can see the power bi report (ADW_adventures).

when migration start, i get errors for powerBIReport

Error:

Migrating PowerBIReport: /source/data/ADW_adventures

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The item '/source/data/ADW_adventures' cannot be found. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ItemNotFoundException: The item '/source/data/ADW_adventures' cannot be found.

   at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ReportingService2010Impl.GetItemDefinition(String ItemPath, Byte[]& Definition)

   at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2010.GetItemDefinition(String ItemPath, Byte[]& Definition)

 

Do you have any insights why I’m getting the error? do you know if there is other solution for the deployment strategy?

 

Thanks 

 

Pascal

It looks like whatever code you are calling is trying to treat the Power BI report as a paginated report. A Power BI report should not be hitting any calls in the ReportingService2010Impl namespace
