How can I change the SQL database server, database name and credential of a published report?
By published the report from SQL server credential and implement parameterized Sql server and Sql DB name , we can able to change DB name parameter by calling PowerBI APIs , but how I can change Sever Name?
I have tried "Default.UpdateDatasources" but its change only server name and DB name , not its credential ?
Please help me out as early as possible

Solved! Go to Solution.
Its solve by first DB server and DB name then calling "Default.UpdateDatasources"
then by calling "gateways/$gatewayId/datasources/$datasourceId"
Thanks
I have changed the DB server and its credential only to those which I had recently inputs on Power BI Web .May be DB credential are kept in caches .
If I have used new DB server and its credential , then only DB server and DB name changes .Password changed script thow error "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request"
This is my code of password change .
I am not using Gateway.
########## Change Password #########
$datasourePatchUrl = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/gateways/$gatewayId/datasources/$datasourceId"
$patchBody = @{
"credentialDetails" = @{
"credentials" = "{""credentialData"":[{""name"":""username"",""value"":""$sqlUserName""},{""name"":""password"",""value"":""$sqlUserPassword""}]}"
"credentialType" = "Basic"
"encryptedConnection" = "NotEncrypted"
"encryptionAlgorithm" = "None"
"privacyLevel" = "Organizational"
}
}
$patchBodyJson = ConvertTo-Json -InputObject $patchBody -Depth 6 -Compress
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $datasourePatchUrl –Headers $auth_header -Body $patchBodyJson –Method PATCH
########## Change Password #########
So my queries are
1. How this changes password script run successfully even in new DB server
2. How the Power BI online caches (where Db credential stored) delete .
Please help me out
TIA
Its solve by first DB server and DB name then calling "Default.UpdateDatasources"
