Exam PL-200 topic 6 question 21 discussion

Tricky! The correct way would be to set the environment variable to its correct environment-specific value during deployment, e.g. by using ADO pipeline libraries. First I thought to update the environment variable’s current value in the PROD system after solution deployment. But the question says: ‘you delete the solution in PROD’ -> the variable will no longer exist in PROD. So you have to change its DEFAULT value in the DEV system, this will then be included in the solution to be deployed to PROD. Then you have to change its CURRENT value in DEV back to point to the correct DEV version of the report. This is NOT a good ALM practice :(

Copilot Let's clarify the difference between updating the environment variable's current value and its default value: Updating the environment variable current value (Option A) would change the value for the current environment only. This might work temporarily, but it doesn't address the root issue when moving solutions between environments. Updating the environment variable default value (Option C) ensures that the correct value is used whenever the solution is imported into a new environment. This is crucial for maintaining consistency across different environments, such as development and production. By updating the default value, you ensure that the environment variable points to the correct data source in the production environment, resolving the issue more effectively.

To resolve the issue where the data in the Power BI report appears the same in both the development and production environments, you should: A. Update the environment variable current value This action ensures that the environment variable is set correctly for the production environment, allowing the Power BI report to display the appropriate data specific to that environment

B is the correct answer. If you update the "current value" while in the development environment, you change that environment's reference to the correct dashboard. You must Remove the value and when you import the solution to the targeted environment, it will prompt and allow you to set the value for environment variables.

A. seems right

I believe it is A Option B, removing the environment variable current value, would not resolve the issue because it would leave the environment variable without a specific value, potentially causing the report to fail or default to an incorrect value. Updating the current value (Option A) ensures that the environment variable points to the correct data source for the production environment, allowing the Power BI report to display the appropriate data for each environment.

A. Update the environment variable current value.

A. Update the environment variable current value.

Should be remove the current valve from the solution.
