Migration of SSRS report server to Power BI REportServer with out client ID in RDL Migration tool

I am planning to migrate some of the SSRS reports to Power BI Report Server, I downloaded  RDLMigration tool from here https://github.com/microsoft/RdlMigration. After downloading RDLMigration it is asking to pass the Client Id. In our environment we dont have any cloud based power BI reports not even workspaces. I want to pass something like below, it is erroring out. Is it possible to use this with out Client ID or is it mandatory to use client ID in this tool please?

 

RdlMigration "SSRS" "PowerbI" "Reports" <client-id>

If you are not doing a migration to a cloud environment you don't need to use the RdlMigration project. This project is only needed because there are some features in SSRS / PBIRS that the cloud service does not support (like shared datasources and datasets).

 

But Power BI Report Server is just a superset of SSRS so you can deploy your existing reports directly from Visual Studio (or Report Builder) without any alterations.
