Bug Fixes

• #430
• #436

Maintenance

• Functions which query Microsoft APIs now use an internal function (in Semantic Link Labs) to reduce and simplify code.
• Functions which return pandas dataframes and specify data types have been refactored to reduce and simplify code.

Notebooks

• Delta Analyzer Shows how to use the new delta_analyzer function.
• Service Principal Added examples for using the new wrapper functions for Microsoft Graph which were released in this version.

semantic-link-labs 0.9.1

Bug Fixes

• Fixed minor critical issue with service principal authentication.

semantic-link-labs 0.9.0

Improvements

• Authentication via Service Principal is now supported for the admin and tom (connect_semantic_model) subpackages. For connect_semantic_model, Service Principal Authentication is also supported for connecting to semantic models hosted on Azure Analysis Services.

To see code examples for authenticating via Service Principal, click here.

New Functions

• sempy_labs
  • Authentication
    • service_principal_authentication Context manager to support Service Principal authentication.

Updated Functions

• sempy_labs
  • run_model_bpa added the 'check_dependencies' parameter. Set this to False for semantic models which are in shared workspaces so that the dependencies DMV check is not done and the remainder of the BPA rules can run (#189).
  • The following functions now leverage the Service Principal Authentication context manager: create_fabric_capacity, suspend_fabric_capacity, resume_fabric_capacity, delete_fabric_capacity, delete_embedded_capacity, update_fabric_capacity, check_fabric_capacity_name_availablility, create_resource_group, list_skus_for_capacity, list_skus, list_subscriptions, get_subscription, list_tenants, create_or_update_resource_group, create_storage_account, list_storage_accounts, check_resource_group_existence, list_resource_groups, get_resource_group
• sempy_labs.admin
  • All relevant functions now support authentication via Service Principal.
• sempy_labs.tom
  • connect_semantic_model Now supports Service Principal authentication via the service_principal_authencation context manager. This method also supports connecting to Azure Analysis Services (AAS) semantic models (simply enter the Azure AS server name in the the 'workspace' parameter and make sure to use the service principal authentication).

Dependencies

• Removed dependency on the azure.mgmt.resource python SDK. Removing this dependency will improve pip install times for Semantic Link Labs while maintaining all existing functionality.
• Updated semantic-link-sempy to 0.8.5

Removed Functionality

Important

If you are impacted by any of the aforementioned changes, please raise an issue on GitHub with your concern (and ideally your company name as well)

• The P->F sku migration capability no longer migrates capacity settings. This is due to a restriction on certain APIs which are no longer accessible.
• Getting the source of a Direct Lake semantic model (lakehouse/warehouse & workspace) now only works when the source exists in the same workspace as the semantic model. This is due to a restriction on an API which is no longer accessible.
• Getting all downstream reports from a semantic model (cross-workspace) is no longer possible. This functionality is limited to reports which are in the same workspace as the semantic model. This is due to a restriction on an API which is no longer accessible.

Bug Fixes

• #375
• #383
• #408

Notebooks

• Service Principal Contains instructions on how to use functions while authenticating via Service Principal.
• Semantic Model Management Contains instructions for backing up, copying and restoring semantic models.
