Data Flow to data model file deployment process help

[Anonymous]

We have created 2 data flows in Dev_dataflow workspace. Using that 2 df, we created the data model pbix file. Once after the develpment we moving the file to Test Environment, Here we are facing the issue's on File Deployment 

Problems Facing:

1. Data Model file not able to connect the Test Environment data flow, Since each table connected with workspace Id & dataflow Id

2. we are updating/modifying the data flow, then when we importing the data flow it's creating duplicate df like Dataflow(1)

Can you please guide me on this

Is there any workaroud for file move process without manual intervention?

 Hi @Anonymous 

(1)Now ,we create the data model pbix file from dataflow only in desktop. As you can see the info in Advanced Editor ,the workspaceID and dataflowID is different . So I don’t quite understand why you move the file to Test Environment . What function or result do you want to achieve ?

(2)After you are updating/modifying ,you export the dataflow as a .json file , the name for the file is same with the dataflow in service .So when you import the .json file in service ,it will display with the name like “XX(1)”.You can change the name in Properties of the dataflow after you importing the .json file .

The way to change the name of dataflow can refer to the link:
