Description
when i have an Extraction dataflow, and a Transformation dataflow, the transformation dataflow is build upon the extraction layer with linked entities. As per the best practises advised by MSFT.
The extraction layer is the only one that needs a refresh command, since linked entities will automatically refresh the transformation layer.
However, using this script RefreshModel on the extraction dataflow, with the parameter to refresh dependent datasets, it wont refresh the dataset because the function GetDependentDatasets doesnt see a dependent dataset
(since a transformation dataset in inbetween, with linked entities). The lineage view does show that these dataflows and dataset are all connected.
