Hello,
I'm facing an issue (bad request) using method patch with service principal on API REST PowerBI.
I'm currently working on a powershell script to deploy a pbix file with a service principal.
The script works fine. It does :
- Connect to PowerBI Service
- Create report and dataset
- Update parameter (credentiels)
- BindToGateway (with principal service added to user of the gateway, thanks to Adam Saxton)
- Refresh
but impossible de UpdateRefreshSchedule. It's only API Call with Method Patch.
$ApiBindToGatewayUrl="https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/" + $TenantId + "/groups/" + $WorkspaceObject.Id + "/datasets/" + $DatasetId + "/Default.BindToGateway"
Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $ApiBindToGatewayUrl -Method Post -Body ("$ApiBindToGatewayRequestBody")
Write-Host "Gateway bind end"`r`n
$headers = Get-PowerBIAccessToken
$ApiRefreshScheduleUrl = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/" + $TenantId + "/groups/" + $WorkspaceObject.Id + "/datasets/" + $DatasetId + "/refreshSchedule"
$ApiRefreshScheduleRequestBody = @"
{
"value":{
"days":[
"Sunday",
"Tuesday",
"Friday",
"Saturday"
],
"times":[
"07:00",
"11:30",
"16:00",
"23:30"
],
"localTimeZoneId":"UTC"
}
}
"@
Method 1 = Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $ApiRefreshScheduleUrl -Method Patch -Body ("$ApiRefreshScheduleRequestBody") | ConvertFrom-Json
Method 2 = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $ApiRefreshScheduleUrl -Headers $headers -Method POST -Body ("$ApiRefreshScheduleRequestBody") -ContentType "application/json"
Is there already a solution for this problem?
Your body data looks ok, but the inclusion parameter looks weird. Try this format (adjust as needed):
$uri = “https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/$groupsPath/datasets/$datasetID/refreshSchedule"
$body = "{ value : { enabled :`"true`” }}"
$res = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri –Headers $authHeader –Method PATCH -body $body
The thing is that the exact same code works when i try to connect with an identified user (not a service principal).
I'm wondering itf this feature is not supported with service principal
