Semantic Link Labs on my personal Macbook

[luanlopez]

Hi,

I created a script in my Fabric Notebook using this library, and it works very well. However, I’d like to build a new solution in my personal application, outside the Notebook Fabric context.

Is it possible to use this library outside Fabric Notebooks, or is it restricted to that environment?

[m-kovalsky]

Semantic link and semantic link labs can only be used in a fabric notebook.

Perfect, thank you very much for the answer @m-kovalsky.

Another question, when I clone a semantic model to another workspace, I can’t refresh the dataset because the credentials don’t come with it. Is there a way to clone the credentials too? Or maybe update the semantic model so it can refresh using this lib?

[m-kovalsky]

How are you ‘cloning’ the semantic model?

[luanlopez]

I'm using this method: deploy_semantic_model for this

@m-kovalsky this an example of my code:

`
import sempy_labs as labs
try:
print("Cloning semantic model...")

labs.deploy_semantic_model(
    source_dataset=SEMANTIC_MODEL_NAME,             # name of the original semantic model
    source_workspace=PRE_STAGING_WORKSPACE,         # source workspace ID
    target_dataset=SEMANTIC_MODEL_TEST,             # name of the new semantic model in the target
    target_workspace=TESTS_WORKSPACE,               # target workspace ID
    refresh_target_dataset=False,                   # whether to refresh the new model
    overwrite=True                                  # overwrite if a model with the same name already exists
)

print("✅ Semantic model successfully cloned!")

except Exception as e:
print("❌ Error during the cloning/rebind process:")
print(e)
