Deployment pipeline with reports pointed to semantic models. How to change data source?
- 1 year ago
I believe if you have a report deployed to the dev stage that is tied to a semantic model in the dev stage, then you deploy the report to the test stage, it will bind the report to the semantic model in the test stage. This is the auto-binding feature of the deployment pipelines. Please see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/cicd/deployment-pipelines/understand-the-deployment-process?tabs=new#autobinding

Wow that would be amazing. Makes so much sense for this to be ea feature. I'll test it out. Thanks. I did not find this article before, maybe I was not searching with the right keywords.
Update: Awesome, this works. I verified by viewing the semantic model in the service. One caveat is, downloading the pbix file after deployment isn't supported. I had seen this limitation recently but did not understand it, as I was able to download the pbix of the report that has the initial semantic model. Looks like any other report connected to the semantic model has this limitation.
