Deployment Pipelines - Dataset is different after a "Successful" Promotion from DEV to TEST

Hello,    We have been using Deployment Pipelines fairly successfully for 2 months now and working through issues. We need some ideas on how to best troubleshoot what is causing the dataset to be d...

Kwarren35,

Few questions to better understand:

1. did you configure rules on the 'Sales' dataset? if so, were they already applied?

2. when you said 'different', did you mean that they were labeled as 'different', or you actually spotted a difference between the datasets?

1. The BI developer applied the Role Level Security rules to the dataset before publishing to DEV workspace.

2. The deployment pipelines interface shows the "sales" dataset as non-equivalent between DEV and TEST, but I cannot spot a differences when comparing files

    Hi Kwarren35 !

    Sorry to hear about that.

    We have a bug in that area, working on fix right now.

      Hello. I think I have the same error here. There is already a fix ? 
      If in dev I make an update that changes my dataset, when deployed to test it will keep saying that there is differences between the two datasets. Then, if I download the dataset .pbix from the test workspace, i can see that is is all messed up (tables names and fields) . I can only get this ok if I delete everything from test and deploy again from the beginning what is not good. 

      There is any solution ?

        Anonymous , few questions:

        • Is it happening on other items in your pipeline, or just datasets?
        • Is it happening on other datasets, or just this particular one?
        • Did it happen several times on that dataset, or just once?
        • What change did you made, that caused it to happen? or any change ends up with same result.

        Also note that downloading a PBIX that been created/ updated through deployment isn't supported, so you might get corrupted files. We will block the option to download in the near future.
