Powershell Update report credentials --Service Principle

Hi All. 

I've got 4 workspaces for our Enterprise reports that are enviromentally aligned (DEV, QA, UAT & Prod) 
We do our PowerBi report deployments using an Azure DevOps Deployment pipeline which deploys the reports and sets the dataSource credentails . All works well ( Although we're using SQL Auth to our Az SQL DB sources).  

Now I also have a fabric Lakehouse, the lake house has data and the data is used in some reports along with some data from our Az SQL DB's 

I want to be able to update the credentials for both the Lakehouse dataSource & the Az SQL DataSource to use Service Principle Auth. 

This all works if I do it via the GUI in the power Bi Service but I'd like to be able to do this via a PowerShell script as part of the deployment pipeline.
I've tried the steps in this script and the take over works but not the update on credentials.

(Thanks SQLSwimmer

Any ideas welcome.

@lbendlin  My bad, sorry.  

Here's by POSH (lots of comments)  but thanks to your prompt, I've noticed it was duplicating the gateway ID. 

I was getting a body empty error but now I've removed the duplication on the GatewayID, I'm getting a 404 NOT FOUND ERROR  which is progress. 🙂
