ALM Toolkit 5.0.2

Enhancements

Compatibility with the upcoming XMLA endpoint in Power BI

ALM Toolkit 5.0.1

Enhancements

Offline metadata file support

Comparisons now work with tabular metadata file such as a BIM file as the source and/or target.

Metadata files are compared offline, without the need for an Analysis Services server instance. All validations are performed on metadata files except dependencies between M expressions because (in the current version) they require an Analysis Services instance.

1500 models

Calculation groups and many-to-many relationships are supported.

Power BI objects

In readiness for XMLA endpoint read/write, objects specific to Power BI are also supported:

• Incremental refresh policies/partitions
• Aggregations
• Table level storage for composite models

Command-line enhancements

The following parameters can be used for command-line execution:

• Azure AD credentials as command-line parameters to connect to source/target Azure AS servers.
• Workspace server to be used for automated builds when using projects (SMPRJ files) as the source and/or target of a comparison.
