Deployment Pipelines - What is compared?

Hi Community,   In one of my deployment pipelines exists a datatet in the test stage which is also deployed to the prod stage but it is marked as different. When the dataset (and report) is copied ...

Hi, Anonymous 

 

Dataset metadata contains tables, relationships, columns, measures.

'Different' is normal, each stage can add some data.

Thanks for the answer.

But when I deploy the dataset from one stage to another, they should not be different and the indicator should be green, correct?

    Anonymous ,

    In more details- we mark items as 'different' only when there's a meatdata change that we are updating during a deployment. Any of the metatdata that v-janeyg-msft mentioned above will trigger the 'diff'. But if you just share content with someone, it will not trigger the 'diff', since we don't copy permissions.

     

    If you have set rules on that dataset, it might be a bit more tricky. if you have set a rule but did not apply him (by deploying again), then you might get a 'diff'. is that your case? if so, can you re-deploy to apply the rule and see if the 'diff' hase been removed?

      Thanks for the answers so far.

      I am using AAS as source and set up a dataset rule from test to prod stage to change the data source. When I hit the deploy to production button the report will be not different, but the dataset. This not happens for all datasets, only for one of three in this pipeline. A few hours later it is not different anymore. I just wanted to understand why this is happening sometimes, so I can explain it better to one of my customers.
