ReportServer directquery option Storage mode property

Hi

 

Do you know when the feature PowerBI directquery option  Storage mode property will be enabled in PowerBI report server and 

Power Bi desktop oprimized for PowerBI report server.

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/power-bi/desktop-storage-mode

 

You set the Storage mode property to one of these three values:

  • Import: Imported tables with this setting are cached. Queries submitted to the Power BI dataset that return data from Import tables can be fulfilled only from cached data.

  • DirectQuery: Tables with this setting aren't cached. Queries that you submit to the Power BI dataset—for example, DAX queries—and that return data from DirectQuery tables can be fulfilled only by executing on-demand queries to the data source. Queries that you submit to the data source use the query language for that data source, for example, SQL.

  • Dual: Tables with this setting can act as either cached or not cached, depending on the context of the query that's submitted to the Power BI dataset. In some cases, you fulfill queries from cached data. In other cases, you fulfill queries by executing an on-demand query to the data source.

Currently you can only set your whole model to Direct Query mode in PBI Report Server. They don't support the per table setting that is available on the cloud service and there have been no specific announcements about when or if this feature might come to Report Server, but there was nothing about this mentioned in the roadmap Microsoft put out for the first half of 2020.
