PowerBI service deployment pipelines and sources


I have 3 workspaces for datasets dev-test-prod and 3 for reports dev-test-prod in Power BI Service.

I'm using deployment pipelines to move datasets and reports between environments; how to ensure that the report deployed from dev to test will point to the dataset from test, not dev? Is this possible in Power BI Service, or requires a complicated configuration?


Solution

  • In the simplest case:

    Deployment pipelines automatically connects (autobind) the deployed item to the item it depends on in the deployed stage. For example, if you deploy a paginated report from development to test, and it's connected to a Power BI dataset that was previously deployed to the test stage, it automatically connects to that dataset.

    And you can read about the additional senarios there too: The deployment pipelines process
