Anyone expereincing this deployment pipeline issue again?  I just promoted from DEV to TEST and its showing differences, even though there are none. 

 

I published a dataset to DEV using PBI desktop and then used deployment pipeline to deploy to TEST and it says differences.

Hi wjkolesar,

In some (not so common) cases the comparison process of an item cannot be completed so its sync status is unknown. Deployment pipeline tagged such items as 'Different'. You can open a ticket for support to check whether it is this case or other and get further assitance. 
In addition, we're about to release a new feature in a few weeks, which provides more details on the 'Different' label: name change, schema change (with the option to view the changed lines highlighted in the schema) or unknown (the above scenario). At first, the supported item types are just dataset and dataflow, we'll soon have paginated report and we hope to quicky add other textual item types. stay tuned! 

BR,

Lee
