Microsoft Power BI policy
A Microsoft Power BI policy contains the connection details that are used by a Microsoft Power BI Request node when connecting to a Microsoft Power BI application.
You can use a Microsoft Power BI Request node in a message flow to connect IBM® App Connect Enterprise to Microsoft Power BI applications and issue requests to perform actions on objects such as datasets, gateway data sources, goals, push datasets, and workspaces.
The Microsoft Power BI policy is created when you configure a connection between a Microsoft Power BI Request node and Microsoft Power
BI by using the Connector Discovery wizard.
During the process of discovery, account credentials are stored in the vault and connection details
are stored in a Microsoft Power BI policy. The policy is created with a type of Microsoft
Power BI, and the name of the policy is returned to the node and specified in the
Connection tab, in the format
{policyProjectName}:policyName.
You can also create, update, or delete a Microsoft Power BI policy by using the Manage Discovery Connector Policies and Credentials wizard, which you can access by right-clicking the policy project in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit and then clicking .
You must deploy this policy before message flows that use the policy are started. If you redeploy a Microsoft Power BI policy, all message flows that are using the policy will be stopped and restarted.
