Managing Power BI objects with Collections

Migrating large numbers of Power BI objects requires careful planing. Organize the Power BI objects into collections to make large lists more manageable. Collections can be created for Workspaces, Gateways, Connections and Connection Profiles. The process described below is common to all Power BI objects.

Working with the Collections Dashboard

The Collections Dashboard shows the collection-specific summary, allows you to see Power BI objects added to it, create tasks for them, and monitor the progress of tasks.

  • To add Power BI objects to a collection see Adding Power BI objects to Collections.
  • To view the collection dashboard for an existing collection
    1. From the project dashboard, click Open in the Power BI tile to open the Power BI migration workspace.
    2. From the top-right corner of the workspace, click Select Collection and then select the collection to view. The collection Dashboard is displayed.
    3. Open the Power BI tab. You will see the list of Power BI objects that belong to the collection.
  • To see the tasks related to a collection, select the collection. Then open the Tasks tab from the collections dashboard.
  • To see the events related to a collection, select the collection. Then open the Events tab from the collections dashboard.
  • To remove Power BI objects from a collection, see Removing Power BI objects from Collections.
  • To rename a collection, select the collection. Then click Rename Collection in the Actions toolbar of the collections dashboard.
  • To delete a collection, select the collection. Then click More > Delete Collection in the Actions toolbar of the collections dashboard.
  • To return to the BI migration workspace, click the collection dropdown at the top-right corner of the page, and select Show All.

Adding Power BI objects to Collections

You can add Power BI objects to collections in several ways:

To add selected Power BI objects to a new collection:

  1. From the project dashboard, click Open in the Power BI tile to open the Power BI migration workspace.
  2. Click a Power BI object tab and select the Power BI objects you want to add to the collection.
  3. From the Actions toolbar, click New Collection. The New Collection dialog opens.
  4. Enter a collection name in the Collection name field and click Save to add the selected Power BI objects to the collection.

To add selected Power BI objects to an existing collection:

  1. From the project dashboard, click Open in the Power BI tile to open the Power BI migration workspace.
  2. Click a Power BI object tab and select the Power BI objects you want to add to an existing collection.
  3. From the actions toolbar, click Add To Collection. The Add to existing collection dialog opens.
  4. Select a collection from the Collection name dropdown and click Save to add the selected Power BI objects to the collection.

To add Power BI objects from a CSV file to a new or existing collection:

This is a two-step process as described below to add Power BI objects to an existing collection from a Power BI object tab:

Prepare the CSV file

NOTE: CSV file names with non-ASCII characters are not supported. Power BI objects in the CSV that have not been discovered cannot be added to a collection.

Use the format shown below to prepare the CSV file. The minimal set of columns are described below.

  • ObjectName - specify the name of the Power BI object. If you provide this value, specifying the ObjectId is optional.

    NOTE: If there are rows with the same ObjectName, only the last row will be added to the collection.

  • ObjectId - provide the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) of the Power BI object. If you include this value, then ObjectName is optional.

    NOTE: Use the Premigration report to get the Object Ids.

    Alternatively, the Object Id GUID can be obtained from the Power BI service application https://app.powerbi.com, or by using the Power BI REST API https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi. Try Get Groups for Workspaces, Get Gateways for Gateways and Get Datasources for Connections. For workspace ObjectId open the workspace and copy the GUID from the URL.

  • ObjectType - enter the type of the Power BI object. The options are Workspace, Gateway, Connection, or Userprofiles. This field is required.
  • CollectionName - provide the name of the collection. This field is required. If a collection name specified in the CSV file does not exist, a new collection will be created with the specified name .

Import the CSV file

  1. Click the Power BI tile, or click Open from the Power BI tile to open the Power BI workspace.
  2. Open a Power Bi object tab.
  3. From the actions toolbar, click More > Import Collections. The New Import Collections From File Task dialog opens.

Mapping Workspaces

Use this method to map specific Power BI Workspaces from the source to a Power BI Workspace that may or may not exist in the target tenant. If the Workspace exists in the target tenant, it will be merged with the target Workspace and the source data is used to resolve any merge conflicts. If the target Workspace does not exist, a new Workspace will be created.

The CSV file lets you specify the Workspaces that you want to map and ignore the rest. You can then use this file in the New Mapping from File Task wizard to map the Power BI Workspaces from the source to the target tenant.

This is a two-step process as described below:

To create the mapping file:

  1.  Prepare a comma-separated values (CSV) file with the source and target Workspace names.

  2. NOTE:

    • You can download a CSV template when you start the New Mapping from File Task wizard and click Download Example File from the Mapping File step.
    • CSV file names with non-ASCII characters are not supported.
  3. The header row defines the names of the source and target attributes used for mapping. Subsequent rows list the mapping values of the attributes.

    The columns are as follows:

    • Source Workspace Name - unique name of the source Power BI Workspace. The column header is case sensitive.
    • Target Workspace Name - unique name of the Power BI Workspace. The column header is case sensitive. In cases where a mapping is not applied and the Target Workspace does not have a value, the Name of the source Workspace will be used for the migration to the target tenant.
  4. Save the CSV file. You may rename the file if needed.

To upload the mapping file:

  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.
  4. From the Power BI tile on the project dashboard click Open. Then select the Workspaces tab.
  5. From the Actions menu, click More and then select Map from File. The New Mapping from File Task wizard starts. Each step is described below:
