Enhanced refresh with the Power BI REST API is now generally available

-

We’re excited to move Enhanced refresh with the Power BI REST API (formerly asynchronous refresh) from public preview to general availability in Power BI Premium, Power BI Premium per User, and Power BI Embedded. As noted in the public preview announcement, this feature not only eliminates the need for synchronous client connections to perform a refresh, but also unlocks enterprise-grade refresh capabilities. It’s a significant improvement over the standard refresh REST API in Power BI. By using the enhanced refresh REST API, you can leverage built in features for refresh management, reliability, and granularity as shown by the following examples.

  • Cancel an in-progress refresh operation.
  • Check the status of historical, current, and pending refreshes.
  • Refresh individual tables and individual partitions.
  • Batched commits with restarts so long refreshes do not need to start from the beginning in cases of transient failure.
  • Application of incremental refresh policy.
  • Control the Analysis Services refresh type for other fine-grained options.

We encourage you to leverage the enhanced refresh REST API for your large model data refresh operations.

Be sure to visit the documentation page for details on how to use the REST API for Power BI. It covers how to perform asynchronous refreshes, check status, and cancel a refresh as necessary. Additionally, the C# RestApiSample code sample is provided to help you get started.

Simplifying capacity management with unified v-cores

We’re excited to announce a platform update to simplify the way customers manage Power BI Premium capacities.  Starting on December 11th 2022, we’ll be rolling out changes to unify the concepts of front-end and back-end virtual cores for capacity management.  Unification of these concepts addresses the feedback we’ve heard from customers who sometimes misinterpret the concepts of customer-managed v-cores from Microsoft managed v-cores.  This change will simplify the model used by customers to both manage capacities and rationalize usage metrics against capacity sizing decisions. How do Premium capacity v-cores work today? Power BI Premium has historically used v-cores as the unit of measure that customers use to reserve compute resources when purchasing a capacity.  After a capacity is purchased, its resources can then be used to run a variety of Power BI workloads.  Before this change, purchased v-cores in a reserved capacity would be split evenly between front-end cores used by Micro
