It happens every now and then that I have to re-create a columns across multiple environments, all because of the data type change. Sometimes, there are good reasons for that, and, sometimes, all I can do is kick myself for not thinking it through from the beginning; since, of course, changing data type for a… Read More »
I like how Microsoft keeps introducing changes to the Power Apps licensing – it’s good to see prices going down, API limits going up, and new licensing options being introduced in addition to the existing ones. So, what’s the story with that new “pay as you go” plan? https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/ It’s an interesting addition to the… Read More »
Well, good things just keep coming in. API limits have been increased quite a bit, and, it seems, it just happened yesterday: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/api-request-limits-allocations It’s, now, 40000 calls per Power App / D365 user: And, for the non-interactive/application users, it’s 500000 per day pooled: When did this happen? Looking at the git sources, it seems this… Read More »
Now that we have the ability to configure maintenance window settings in the production environments, what would we use it for? The wording there is quite interesting – if there is no downtime or service degradation, why would we care? Well, the answer seem to be two-fold. On the one hand, from the operations perspective,… Read More »
Have you noticed that there is a new feature that’s been added to the security model in Dataverse, and it’s called “Matrix Business Units”? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/wp-security-cds It is in preview, and it is being rolled out. To be honest, it’s not, yet, available in the environments I have access to, so I’m just waiting to see… Read More »
Earlier this month, I blogged about how “Export to File for Paginated Reports” action seems to be relatively slow (even when compared to doing the export manually from the Power BI Service): https://www.itaintboring.com/power-automate/export-to-file-for-paginated-reports-execution-time/ So, I thought, maybe an alternative could be to write custom code which would be using Power BI Rest API to do… Read More »
Have you ever had your flows turned off when importing them through a solution? It’s been a bit of a mystery to me for a while. I had some idea about what to look at, but it’s only now that I looked closer. Maybe you’ll find it useful, too. First of all, every Flow can… Read More »
Here is an interesting error I ran into the other day: It does sound like there was something in the server response that was considered “sensitive data”, but what could have happened? The screenshot above is, actually, from the application I created specifically to reproduce the error and see why it’s happening, so it’s very… Read More »
For the last few days, I’ve been trying to figure out one mysterious aspect of “Export to File for Paginated Reports” action, which is that it was always taking just a little more than 30 seconds to complete. Which, even for the simplest static paginated report that would not even connect to a data source,… Read More »
You probably know how we can add required components to our solutions – there is an option for that in the maker portal, and it’s easy to use. For example, if I had “contact” table in the solution already, I could add required components for that table: And the idea is that all the relationships,… Read More »
