Power BI and Common Data Model Manifest - What format?

Hi

I want to utilize the Common Data Model manifest vervison 1.0.15, but I cant seem to get any data through to my powerbi report.

I have created a 'default.manifest.cdm.json' file and it looks like this:

 

 

{

  "manifestName": "Recipient",
  "entities": [
    {
      "entityName": "RecipientEntity",
      "entitySchema": "local:/Recipient.cdm.json/Recipient",
      "dataPartitionPatterns": [
        {
          "name": "NewPartition0",
          "rootLocation": "Recipient/2021-07-14/",
          "globPattern": "Recipient-44e18e5248e345a09dbc935d7b0480bd*.csv",
          "exhibitsTraits": [
            {
              "traitReference": "is.partition.format.CSV",
              "arguments": [
                {
                  "name": "columnHeaders",
                  "value": "false"
                },
                {
                  "name": "delimiter",
                  "value": ","
                },
                {
                  "name": "escape",
                  "value": "\\"
                },
                {
                  "name": "encoding",
                  "value": "utf-8"
                },
                {
                  "name": "quote",
                  "value": "\""
                }
              ]
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

 

 

I have also created a Recipient json file and all is setup in the tennant and the Workspace.

I can add it to my WorkSpace but it does not present to me the data from the Azure Storage Account. I think that the format of the doucment is wrong. Any ideas?

Hi @KNO ,

 

Is there any error message?

No errors....

When I try to merge the CDM with a another dataset, it returns this:

Capture2.PNG

This is not a data structure that relates to the Recipient CDM that i created in DataFactory. And it has no data values.
