Hi Marcin_PL ,

 

 

I am in the middle of separating Power BI Report Server portal to another machine (lets call id Machine2) from current server where it is running now (lets call it Machine1).

 

How do you realize this requirement?

 

I try to reproduce it via:

 

1. Change the Report Server database on Machine2 to the same report server database on Machine1.

2. Change the Report Server database credential.

3. Restore the Encryption Keys with the backup file from Machine1.

 

Aret there any differences between our steps?

 

 

Best Regards,

Icey

Hi Icey ,

 

thank you for your response. I believe I did it correctly. This issue was present when I try to connect to my test database from test environment server (Machine 3).

 

Fortunately, next day, when I tried to connect to the backup of my production database it worked without any problem. So we did a migration last Sunday and everything seems to be OK.

 

So this case is not so important to me now. However, it would be great to know how to solve this issue mentioned in my first post, because I believe that my both scenarios were the same.

 

Regards,

Marcin
