Imports API - CreateOrOverwrite dataflow

[alex_chiraples]

Hi,

I'm receiving the following error when trying to update a dataflow with Imports API. Has anyone got this working?

{
    "error": {
        "code": "PackageNotFoundError",
        "pbi.error": {
            "code": "PackageNotFoundError",
            "parameters": {},
            "details": []
        }
    }
}

Reference documentation: 

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/dataflows/dataflows-features-limitations#a...
• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/imports

Steps to reproduce:

1. Export dataflow as json, cleanup partitions property

2. Create workspace, get workspace id

3. Upload dataflow (Ignore)

request

POST /v1.0/myorg/groups/f6..../imports?datasetDisplayName=model.json&nameConflict=Ignore HTTP/1.1
Host: api.powerbi.com
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Authorization: Bearer ey...
Content-Length: 229

----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=""; filename="/C:/git/project/model.json"
Content-Type: application/json

(data)
----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW

response

{"id":"e1..."}

4. Get final status (wait for import to finish)

{
  "@odata.context": "http://wabi-north-europe-redirect.analysis.windows.net/v1.0/myorg/groups/.../$metadata#imports/$entity",
  "id": "...",
  "importState": "Succeeded",
  "createdDateTime": "2022-06-20T09:09:38.713Z",
  "updatedDateTime": "2022-06-20T09:09:38.713Z",
  "name": "model",
  "connectionType": "import",
  "source": "Upload",
  "datasets": [],
  "reports": [],
  "dataflows": [
    {
      "objectId": "...",
      "name": "model",
      "users": ""
    }
  ]
}

5. Upload dataflow (CreateOrOverwrite)

POST /v1.0/myorg/groups/f6..../imports?datasetDisplayName=model.json&nameConflict=CreateOrOverwrite HTTP/1.1
Host: api.powerbi.com
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Authorization: Bearer ey...
Content-Length: 229

----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=""; filename="/C:/git/project/model.json"
Content-Type: application/json

(data)
----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW

6. Get status, 404 error

request

GET /v1.0/myorg/groups/f6.../imports/16... HTTP/1.1
Host: api.powerbi.com
Authorization: Bearer ey...

response

{
    "error": {
        "code": "PackageNotFoundError",
        "pbi.error": {
            "code": "PackageNotFoundError",
            "parameters": {},
            "details": []
        }
    }
}

It has already been several months.  But there is now a bug reported to the PG.

The title of the bug is "REST API - imports with parameter CreateOrOverwrite throws PackagenotfoundError" and it was created on 5th Sept 2022.

Here is the Bug ID: 875909

Maybe the PG will fix this soon.  Please note that I wasn't the first to report the bug .  I contacted CSS/PG in December 2022, and they said there was already a bug number for this problem.
