Delete a stage in a Deployment Pipeline

[RichFlorida]

I have created a Deployment Pipeline that includes 3 stages (3 workspaces). I need to delete the 2nd stage, as there is no need for it.

How can I delete one of stages in a Deployment Pipeline?

Thanks!

Thank you @rdnguyen for your reply.

I decided to use Test --> Prod. I published a report to Test workspace, it works perfectly fine. I deployed the report and it's dataset (excel sheet) to Prod workspace. It errors out in prod, with the error below, which does not make sense, since report works fine in Test Workspace.

Any idea what is causing this?

Couldn't load the data for this visual

The expression referenced column 'Sep 2022'[Year-Month] which does not hold any data because it needs to be recalculated or refreshed.

Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.

Rich,

Why don't you load Excel data into a Dataflow, then use that Dataflow as datasource for both Test and Production phase?

Hi @RichFlorida 

I actually using two stages, and I assign workspace to Test and Production phase. So to say, the default is always 03 stages, so you could use either Dev - Test or Test - Prod, not likely we could do Dev - Prod with the empty slot in between of the Pipeline.

However, to mitigate the confusion, you basically can rename the workspace, for example call it <Workspace A> [Dev] even assigning that to Test phase.

Hope that helps.

Any ideas if this could be done!

Does the PBI Service allow for the creation of a Deployment Pipeline that has only two stages??

Thanks!
