Change report data source on deploy

[fredrikheden]

Hi!

I have the need to deploy a report to different workspaces and reconfigure the data source for it when deploying. Currently, I am using a “workaround” where I am replacing the Connections.json file before each report deployment.

Maybe this functionality already exists, although I could not find it in the documentation/samples? If not, any plans of adding it?

Hi, I have 3 env. (DEV,UAT and PROD) , and created 2 report files and 2 datasets , one Dataset in Dev and one in PROD , so reports in DEV and UAT are having as source the dataset in DEV and report in prod the dataset in prod.. we are making chaning on the report in DEV env then moving to UAT if approved then we make changes on the Prod report (As mentioned above).
Switching report connections as part of deployments is requested !!!!!

Hi Mathias!

Thank you for a very goog tool!

We are using pbi-tools for deployment of datasets together with azure pipelines. This is working perfect!
But we also would like to use report deployment, but to use this feature we need to be able to change the data source connection on deploy cause the dataset can be stored in another workspace. Do you have any plans to add this feature?

@ingthu It's on the roadmap, but due to other commitments not before January. The backend code is already in place as it was developed for #141, but this needs some frontend work. Feel free to send a PR.
