How can I create a dashboard from template (via SourceTemplate) if the account in a different env/account does not have access to these source template arn?

[alltej]

The template arn is from a different account. We are deploying to another account in a different env. Cross account permission is not an option. Is there way that instead of providing a reference to a template arn, we can provide the template jsons so it does not have to access the template arn account?

Hello @alltej - You can now leverage the Asset As Bundle Methodology. Please go through the below link and I believe this will be helpful especially the cross account deployment section.

Automate and accelerate your Amazon QuickSight asset deployments using the new APIs

Business intelligence (BI) and IT operations (BIOps) teams often need to automate and accelerate the deployment of BI assets to ensure business continuity. We heard that you wanted an automated and scalable way to deploy, back up, and replicate Amazon QuickSight assets at scale so that BIOps teams within your organization can work in an agile manner. Today, we are releasing six new QuickSight APIs to allow programmatic access to export and import QuickSight assets—dashboards, analyses, dataset…

Hope this helps!

I think that example works for 1 target (default namespace?). Does the cli provide a target namespace? I need to deploy the bundle to multiple namespaces. Currently(not the asset-as-bundle) I loop through all the namespaces and call the create/update of dashboards and datasets. During each loop I have run validation of memberships, folders, etc. How can I implement that with asset-as-bundle? Is there an example that you point me to?

@alltej - In the Blog post link, that I shared there are multiple example scenarios given with some sample statements / commands. Did you get a chance to look at that?

Hi @alltej

We have not heard back from you regarding your question. We would still like to help. If we do not hear back in the next 3 days, we will archive the question

[alltej]

In the export job, I see that you can specify the target region. Can we specify a different aws partition?

[sagmukhe]

@alltej - Can you please specify what do you mean by Partition? Are you referring to QuickSight namespace?

[alltej]

Namespace like “aws”, “aws-cn” or “aws-us-gov”.

[sagmukhe]

@alltej - Not quite. Please go through the following link regarding namespace, which I was alluding to in my previous post. Namespace helps us to segregate assets logically within a single QuickSight account. Hope this helps!

I am getting error in the describe-asset-bundle-export-job:
"NetworkInterfaces should have more than 1 item for VPC connection...

A simple describe-vpc-connection did not return an error.

Is this a known issue? Or is there a work-around currently?

[alltej]

I resolved the issue by adding another subnet in the VPC.

A few months back, QS released new APIs for creating/updating VPC Connections. QS now requires all newly created/updated VPC connections to have two or more subnet IDs. Please see the updated API documentation and user guide.
