Trouble modifying Incremental Refresh Effective Date through XMLA

[dgelfand]

I'm trying to modify the Effective Date of an Incremental Refresh in SSMS using the XMLA endpoint as referenced here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-premium-incremental-refresh#xmla-endpoint-benefits...

Here's my TMSL:

{
"refresh": {
"type": "full",

"applyRefreshPolicy": true,
"effectiveDate": "12/31/2020",

"objects": [
{
"database": "IncrementalRefreshTest",
"table": "IncrementalTest"
}
]
}
}

And the error:

The JSON DDL request failed with the following error: The 'Name' property cannot contain any of the following characters: . , ; ' ` : / \ * | ? " & % $ ! + = ( ) [ ] { } < >.

I'd appreciate any help you could give.  Thanks

It would appear that the new of your cube is using one of the reserved characters?

[dgelfand]

What would the "Name" be referring to here? Neither my data set nor any of the table or column names in it have these reserved characters.  Is it something in my M queries?

[GilbertQ]

Hi there

It might be that, what happens if you try and refresh manually.

I think possibly there might be something not 100% correct in your JSON.

[dgelfand]

The error was caused by the M generated by the Navigation step using the Snowflake connector.  

Example:

Schema = Database{[Name="Fact",Kind="Schema"]}[Data]

The quotes around "Fact" seem to be triggering the error even though they are escaped.  I ended up resolving this by switching from the Snowflake connector to an ODBC connection.  Any suggestions on how to handle this while using the Snowflake connector?

@dgelfand : Can you let me know if your incremental refresh is working with it? As I wasnt able to see partitions in my cube and neither it was working.
