Backwards Deployments

Hi bw26 ,

As far as I know the backward deployment using 'Deploy to previous stage' option does not change the report id of production. It creates new reports for lower environments test and dev, so there the report id gets altered, but production workspace report ids stay unaltered. 

As long as we do not delete a report manually or thru scripts, we should be good. Deployment pipeline always  identifies existing content in the target stage and overwrites only its content. The item's ID, URL, and permissions remain unchanged.

Thanks,

Pallavi

bw26 I don’t think the report ID will be retained when re-deploying a directly loaded report via the pipeline, as each deployment generates a new ID. To preserve the original ID, overwrite the existing production report by publishing the pipeline-deployed version with the same name and workspace.
