Datamart Refresh History

[smpa01]

TLDR:- How do I know if the scheduled refresh for datamart went through without trouble?

I have deployed a datamart in production but it seems there is no way for me to verfiy if the refresh went through successfully.

For dataset, and dataflow there is a refresh history available, but it does not seem to be the case for datamart.

I see this and don't know what it means cause it is confusing.

The datamart was set up two weeks ago with scheduled refresh 3 times a day, yet the Refresh History is completely blank.

Please help. I can't risk all my forthcoming reports if I don't understand the behavior of datamart accurately. The reports will always be stale if the refresh does not happen.

Hi @smpa01 

The datamart is currently in preview and I would say is V1 of the product. 

What that means is certain parts have not been built yet, but they for sure will be built. 

You can vote for an idea here for them to get it done sooner if already not on their roadmap https://ideas.powerbi.com

@GilbertQ thank you. Do you happen to know if Microsoft has published the roadmap for datamart yet ?

Along with the Refresh History, I would really love to access the SSAS db that gets deployed within datamart. Currently we can access the SQL db, but the fact that a data model can be deployed within datamart, I would love to grab that SSAS server db. 

The fact that, one can build BI based on the datamart's data model on live connection, it surely means that the db should be queried seperately as well (same like XMLA endpoint). I would love to know if this is on their roadmap.

Hi @smpa01 

As far as I am aware I have not seen anything further on the roadmap.

Currently datamarts do not have any actual SSAS db it is all done through DirectQuery to the SQL Engine.
