Discovering Power BI Content

This topic describes the various ways you can discover Power BI content.

In this topic:

Prerequisites

  • The Test Power BI Connection task must be run before Discover All Contents can be processed.
  • The Test Power BI Connection task must successfully connect to the source tenant to process Discover All Contents.
  • The Test Power BI Connection task must successfully connect to both the source and target tenant to process migrations.

Considerations

We strongly recommend that you run only one discovery task at a time to avoid scheduling delays.

Discovering all contents

This is a unified approach which uses the Discover All Contents task to inspect the source tenant and discover all Power BI instances of Workspaces, Gateways and Connections.

NOTE: Discovering all contents is recommended as the first of all discovery tasks. This task will collect data for Workspaces, Gateways and Connections. This information will be indicated in the pre-migration report. To complete the pre-migration report, you must also run the Collect Statistics task.

Workspaces, Gateways and Connections can also be discovered separately using dedicated discovery tasks that are usually recommended for the discovery of newer Power BI objects, such as a refresh from the source tenant.

  1. Log in to Quest On Demand and choose an organization if you have set up multiple organizations.
  2. From the navigation pane, click Migration to open the My Projects list.
  3. Create a new project or open an existing project.

This option is helpful if you have added new user accounts to Power BI and the accounts have been discovered and matched with the On Demand Migration service.
    2. Click Next.
  7. Schedule
    1. Choose from one of three options to schedule the task. The scheduler will be activated after you complete the task wizard.
      • Run now - task runs immediately.
      • Run later - task must be started manually.
      • Schedule - task will be started at a future date and time entered in the corresponding calendar field.
    2. Click Next.
