Publishing to dashboard from analysis when both have been exported and imported using asset bundle manager

Question & Answer

Hi,

we’ve started using asset bundle management to move our datasets, dashboards and analysis between dev/qa/prod environments.

This is working to move the assets across, but when I then want to make a change in the analysis and republish to the dashboard I don’t get the dashboard in the “publish to existing dashboard” as an option.

I am the owner of all of the assets (dashboard, analysis, dataset), should the analysis that has been exported and imported still have a link to the dashboard so it can replace the dashboard or is that not possible?

Thanks.

Hello @nlp !

Just to be sure I understand, you imported the analysis and the dashboard into the new account at the same time and now you can not make changes to the dashboard even though it is depending on the analysis in its current version?

To troubleshoot something small first, could you double check that you have permissions to all of the assets? Asset bundle import operations - Amazon QuickSight.

Thanks Duncan,

I am actually doing the exporting/importing as two steps (it’s going through a build pipeline and this is how it’s been set up), I’ll see if I can just do the export in one go and see if that changes things.

I did have look through an old export where I’d done both at once and the only reference to the dashboard_id was in the dashboard json file and the analysis_id was only in the analysis json file so there’s no obvious link in the exported data, you wouldn’t happen to know where in the json that link would be maintained?
