Tenant to tenant migration

[sajidami82]

Hi,

We are initiating office365 tenant to tenant migration project. as per vendors they can migrate Exchange/Teams/SharePoint and OneDrive data. my question here is where Power BI stores data by default? or do we need to ask Power BI developers/Users to store data on OneDrive/SharePoint?

Need help as I don't have idea of Power BI

Regards
Sajid

Hi. There is no migration tool for Power Bi. If you have the original .pbix files in a repo you can just publish those again in the new tenant. Otherwise you have to download the pbix from the current tenant and publish them back to the new tenant. You can do that last action with the Rest API.

I hope that helps,

P/D you can find libraries like powerbi cmdlets (powershell) or SimplePBI (python)

Hi @ibarrau 

I have in hand around 200 WorkSpaces , 800 Reports and 100 Dashboards to migrate from Tenant A to Tenant B.

I personnaly would prefer to go for your first solution since I have acces to all PBIX files and this way I can verify each and every one of them before Publishing them to the new Tenant B.

Though I am still curious to know about the action with the Rest API in case I run out of time. Can you please guide me through it ? Do I need a Premium license to be able to do it ? and most of it, is using this action reliable 100% ? I'd rather spend time on the first solution and start from scratch than using Rest API to finally fall into problems and do over again.

Thanks in advance
