Newbi Alert: Refreshing a PBI Data Set - Unhappy Path

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by jimmyg706 44

Hi All

 

I have a working flow which is manual for the moment and I will likely automate this via a Power App

 

A very simple use case as you can see in Fig 1 which is to trigger a Data Set Refresh on a Power BI Workspace

 

After a Trigger- my Data Set refresh could take say 5x minutes. In that time  Ive already had a message posted to the teams channel

 - See  Figure 2

 

However what if my data refresh fails?

 

Im looking for an option such as

 

  1. Trigger a data set resfresh- 
  2. Wait for PBI Refresh Result
  3. Post Result to Teams channel

 

Help/Comments welcome

 

Jimmy

    - create a custom connector that runs API calls against the Power BI REST API

    - implement calls to initiate an enhanced refresh and to get the refresh status of an enhanced refresh

    - in your flow issue the refresh request, then wait a decent amount (5 minutes) and then ask for the status. Loop until the status is no longer unknown,  and based on success/failure send out your notification.
