Graph API not supporting Schedule Refresh

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am using Intune Graph API to pull data for my reports. For this, I created a custom connector as described in the MS doc. I am able to update my data in the Desktop app. In PBI Service, Schedule Refresh does not work. I get the following error:

 You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because the following data sources currently don't support refresh:
• Data source for Graph
Discover Data Sources
Query contains unknown function name: MyGraph.Feed

What do I have to configure to make it work? thanks for every hint!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on my research, When you build reports in Power BI Desktop that use custom data connectors, you can use the on-premises data gateway to refresh those reports from the Power BI service.

Please refer to this document to get more information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-gateway-custom-connectors

Hi, since Intune Graph API is hosted on Azure, a on-premises data gateway does not make sense for me.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Using gateway is required if you want refresh the data connected by custom connector , even the source data is cloud-base, the main reason is that power bi service does not have the custom connector you made to connect data source.

OK. I'll give it a try.

Hi @Anonymous ,

How about the result after you follow the suggestions mentioned in my original post?Could you please provide more details about it If it doesn't meet your requirement?

Hi!

I could fix the error above by changing the URL from

https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/managedDevices to 

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/deviceManagement/managedDevices in the MEZ file. I suppose that MS has modified something here. 

But after configuring the on-prem data gateway I still get the error which I sent in the first post of this thread.

It seems this is not the solution to get the data refreshed automatically.

Thanks,

Trang

Hi, not yet because I am currently troubleshooting my Graph API connector. It no longer works suddenly and it keeps throwing this error when I try to refresh the data in PBI Desktop:

Unable to connect

We encountered an error while trying to connect.

Details: "The feed's metadata document appears to be invalid. Error: The type microsoft.graph.dataLossPreventionPolicy has conflicting definitions for the property id."

Do you know what it means and how to solve that?

Thanks,

Trang
