      Thanks Nithya, your solution worked in my case!

       

      P.S. This stuff is not easy or intuitive... I hope this Power BI embedded maintenance stuff will be enhanced. Why it is not possible to upload power bi report directly through Azure management portal?

      I have had the same issue though just fixing User Id and password was enough for my case.  You may want to just switch database pointing in local PowerBI Desktop and just update the credentials from Sample - Option 7-Gateway update.

    Hello I have been facing the same issue . Please share if it was resolved.
    The Provision Sample was working fine but two days back it threw this exception exception and continues to do so , with the same connection string :

    "data source=XXXX.database.windows.net;initial catalog=XXXX;"

        Did you ever figure out how to solve the problem?  I am doing the same thing with the same result.

    I am also getting the same error message: "Bad Request" (see stack trace below) and I'm not really sure why.

     

    After adding the new dataset (pbix file) I then execute #7, enter Username and Password (I'm assuming this is the same username and password used to connect to, in my case, the Azure SQL Database) and then enter the connection string with the server and database.  I entered the connection string in two different ways to no avail:

     

    Data Source=xxxx.database.windows.net;Initial Catalog=dbName;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx;

     

    and also:

     

    Data Source=xxxx.database.windows.net;Initial Catalog=dbName;

     

    I also deleted the published dataset and imported it again, but nothing.

     

    Is there an updated version of the ProvisionSample code???

      I figured it out! It appears that Power BI Embedded doesn't like it when you regular PBI data sets (I.e. Import type of connection not direct query) and direct query data sets. I removed this other data set from the workspace and imported my direct query data set. I then added the connection string by first specifying the username and password and then providing the connection string with the Data Source and Initial Catalog only. I did not get an error message but a confirmation that it was accepted. I went to my web app and I was able to access the embedded dashboard as expected. I hope this helps!

      Power BI team - if you can please update the sample code with this important fact?

      Thanks!
