Deploy a pbix to a WS (Service) via PBI API

Hi

 

I  would like to  update a DAX formula  of my  report Dataset , via this  Power BI  API

-->https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu/imports?datasetdisplayname=montest

 

But I'm afraid that in case of incremental DS, after this kind of deployment... the entire DS will be recalculated? do you agree on this please ?  ;<) 

 

I know that  AML toolkit  tool avoids this inconvenience and also

that afterwards  , On service  PBI pipeline only modifies  metadata (avoids a complete refresh for an incremental DS)

Also, do you agree on this point please ?

Best regards

Christophe

    Hi  

     

    There  is no way to modify  pbi artifacts metadata on  Servie ... via an api  for the moment

    We are therefore all waiting for a new powerbi API consisting only of updating the metadata of the artifacts
    - Useful for CICD because ALM toolkit is cool but not CICD friendly
    - Behave like deployment pipelines that are CICD/metadata friendly
    - Update the WS of DEV by managing the case of the Incremental Dataset (do not delete the partitions of the model table)

    Hi. I can talk for sure about Power Bi. Yes it will refresh all over again once you published an replace or import. the incremental won't work that first refresh and it will do it all over again one time.

    I haven't done that with ALM Toolkit, but it is suposed to let you change metadata of the PBI Service without requesting a refresh, so next time it will still be incremental.

    You can read more about those things here:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/incremental-refresh-xmla

    I hope that helps,

    P/D There might be a video of guyinacube about this if you want to follow that.
