Request: Deployments pipelines should support centralized datasets
- 5 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
Reports can be managed in pipelines even is they are connected to external datasets.
whenever you deploy report update across the stages, it will keep pointing to the same shared dataset.
You can also manage 'central datasets' WS in pipelines.
However, managing both datasets and connected reports in separate pipelines is still not working in an optimal way, as there's no built-in way to connect each dataset in each stage with the correlated reports in each stage.
We recommend that for now, you connect all reports in all stages to the Prod dataset. in the 'central datasets' pipeline, keep few reports for testing in each stage, so that any change in datasets will be verified on reports before hitting Prod.
If you still encounter problems in some reports, you can use the dev/ test stages to fix it in each pipeline, and deploy to Prod.
Hope it was clear.
daxman thanks for the thorough explanation. We understand the difficulties in implementing the desired use case. I can share that we are planning to address this issue and have multiple pipelines be 'aware' of each other when different items are connected across pipelines.
We will start working on it this year, but i don't have a timeline to share yet.
Thank you for keeping everyone in the loop! Your quick response is much appreciated. Cheers
