Azure Analysis Services to Power BI Premium migration
Hi!
I have azure analysis services instance and would like to migrate to Power BI Premium.
I have implemented aliast for my AAS based on that article: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/analysis-services/analysis-services-server-alias
In effect end users can use 'link://...' instead of default 'asazure://' URL.
I thought having an alias would be easier to migrate, because users could still use 'link://' URL instead of a new one what will come from Power BI service 'powerbi://'.
My question is: is it possible to keep an alias and migrate to Power BI Premium? I don't want to use "Azure Analysis Services migrations" option in Power BI service as there are many conditions to be met.
Purchase a reasonably sized Fabric capacity and recreate your semantic models there.
is it possible to keep an alias and migrateNo, it is not.
Hi feelthelight14 ,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community. Thank you lbendlin for your inputs.
Currently, Power BI Premium does not support custom server aliases like 'link://' used in Azure Analysis Services (AAS). During migration, connection strings must be updated to use the 'powerbi://' format. We recommend updating client applications and user connections to the new format and leveraging XMLA endpoints for seamless access to your models.
For a smoother migration, you can refer to the AAS to Power BI Premium Migration Guideand XMLA Connectivity documentation.
Hope my suggestions give you good idea, if you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out.

I have azure analysis services instance and would like to migrate to Power BI Premium.You are (way) too late to the party. There is no more option to migrate to Premium. You will need to migrate to Fabric.
I doesn't matter. I just want to resign from Analysis Services and move my dataset to Power BI service.
