Error when loading DirectQuery PBIX file: Datasource has no credentials, unable to Patch the gateway
Hi Eric_Zhang,
Thanks for your response! I tried this but instead of a NotFound exception I received a BadRequest.
However I'm able to update my credentials with:
await client.Datasets.SetAllConnectionsAsync(workspaceCollectionName, workspaceId, datasetId, connectionParameters);
Here is a screenshot of the output
Finally found the issue! When I used PowerBI-CLI the problem became a bit clearer. Apparently I needed to "Allow access to Azure services" in the relevant SQL database. After that I could finally Patch the Gateway and now I can see data in my report.
We definitely need more/the same feedback in the PowerBI API SDK!
This was my error (the IP Address is an Azure IP Address):
[ powerbi ] {"error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_DataSourceAccessError","pbi.error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_DataSourceAccessError","parameters":{},"details":[{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorCode","detail":{"type":1,"value":"-2146232060"}},{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorMessage","detail":{"type":1,"value":"Cannot open server 'engiep-dev-weeu-sql' requested by the login.

How do you find the up address of PowerBI Embedded in order to whitelist the up address? Is it guaranteed not to change? I was under the impression that azure to azure calls didn't need it address whitelisting.
You mean IP address right? The IP address is an Azure IP Address, apparently you can switch on "Allow access to Azure services" on the Azure SQL Database. Then all Azure Services will have access to the database, including the Gateway. This way you don't need to add the Gateway's IP Address to the list of allowed IP addresses
I think I might be hitting a different issue specific to PBI embedded. My server is already set to allow all azure services through the firewall and is still throwing a NotFound error in the PatchGateway call. It was working on Tuesday this week and hasn't since. I see some other threads about similar problems, so I'm asssuming it's an outage for embedded specifically. I'll keep digging. Thanks for the info though.
