Refresh a local PBIP/TMDL semantic model open in Power BI Desktop, and persist the result to .pbi/cache.abf (headlessly via AMO Server.ImageSave, UI-Automation fallback). Persisting is the DEFAULT - opt OUT with `--no-save` for read-only or validate-then-deploy work; saving aligns database.tmdl's declared compatibilityLevel so the cache stays loadable, and the cache write is staged and swapped atomically. Use after finishing TMDL edits, before handing a model to report authoring, or whenever…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Refresh a local PBIP model, and make the data survive a close

**Windows only.** Talks to the local Analysis Services instance that Power BI Desktop hosts, over
ADOMD.NET/AMO (pythonnet), plus the Desktop Bridge CLI for process to file mapping.

Requirements, in full: Windows with Power BI Desktop, Python >= 3.11 with `pythonnet`, the ADOMD.NET
and AMO client libraries under the NuGet global-packages cache (`$env:NUGET_PACKAGES` when set,
otherwise `~/.nuget/packages`), and the installed `powerbi-desktop` CLI from
`@microsoft/powerbi-desktop-bridge-cli` on PATH for `--ui-refresh` (legacy XMLA discovery still uses
`npx`). No other dependency, and nothing repo-specific.

The ADOMD.NET client is a *separate* nuget package from TOM/AMO, so a machine can have one and not the
other. If `probe_desktop_query.py` prints `AdomdClient.dll not found in the nuget cache` (and
`preflight.ps1` WARNs `ADOMD.NET client (Desktop probe/refresh)`), restore it — forcing a supported TFM
so `dotnet add` cannot silently no-op on a net10 default:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add guust-franssens/tableau-to-powerbi-migration/pbip-model-refresh@sha256:59f9252c874aaa09

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.1fee875, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
