Request: Deployments pipelines should support centralized datasets
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.
Hi Nimrod_Shalit ,
we just decided to introduce Power BI Premium at our company and are stumbling upon quite some missing features in Power Bi (compared to other BI products from other vendors). Amongst that is the missing support of your propagated centralized datasets and the deployment pipelines as mentioned by Anonymous. This is a critical issue for us.
Can you give us an update on the issue, please? Is there an idea available to vote on or can you point us to another solutio0n based on Powershell scripts e.g.?
And I do not understand how this question can be declared as "Solved", since it is not!
Thanks
Daniel
We are now working to support this scenario.
It is part of the release notes for the Oct-Apr 22 timeframe.
