Data Source Missing Credential

Hi there, 

 

I am getting the below message although I am sure about everything. No issues in the desktop file at all. 

 

Also, I am not getting a choice to edit the credentials as I usually get with this kind of messages

This prevents me of Scheduling Update.

Has anyone been in this case before? 

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hey Hadill ,

     

    sometimes this happens when there is a password change of a personal account for one of the data sources that form the Semantic Model (fka dataset) and this change is not repeated for the credentials in the dataset. I experience this sometimes, when colleagues are using SharePoint as a data source.

     

    Navigate to the settings of the semantic model and check the "Data source credentials", re-authenticate to the web data sources.

    IF you have not configured the dataset, be careful with "Taking over" the semantic model, as this "move" requires re-authentication for all data sources, except the ones that are using a data gateway connection.

    Hopefully, this will to tackle your challenge.

     

    Regards,

    Tom

    Hi; Similar to what the OP described, in my case, the "Data source Credentials" area of the options menu is greyed out as well, and not accessible. - you literally cannto access that setting in order to correct any problems. Is there another way to fix this problem?  FYI, in my case, i'm connecting into D365 BC data.
