Hi Guys,
i have issue with WriteError using pwoerShell and power BI rest Api.
Command to connect to power bi rest API:
1) Login-PowerBI
2) Get-PowerBIDataset which is throwing this result:
and i am interested in changing parameters for shown dataset.
3) Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets/16d0298e-4dda-493b-baf9-0bbbf84d1995/parameters" -Method GET
and as you can see i have 2 parameters and want to change DatabaseName from "test" to "unit"
4) declaring body variable like here:
return from this:
but last method is not working for me:
Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets/16d0298e-4dda-493b-baf9-0bbbf84d1995/Default.UpdateParameters" -Method POST -Body $body
Can anybody help and say why it is not working?
Fiddler's answer:
CE
{"error":{"code":"InvalidRequest","message":"Dataset parameter at position 1 is invalid in 16d0298e-4dda-493b-baf9-0bbbf84d1995. Reason: ActionNotSupported","target":"16d0298e-4dda-493b-baf9-0bbbf84d1995"}}

I'm trying to use this method to update which database the report is supposed to connect to as well but running into the same invalid operation error. You say you solved it, but I don't quite understand how. Could you elaborate?
