Power BI Report Server Jan 2021: reports with parameters in the URL show a blank page

Anonymous — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 15:15:29 GMT

I have a report that I can filter using the dedicated syntax in the URL. Here an example:

Report URL without parameters:

https://pbiserver/Reports/powerbi/MyReport

Report URL with a parameter:

https://pbiserver/Reports/powerbi/MyReport?filter=myTable/myField eq 'myValue'
In the browser it is translated to:
https://pbiserver/Reports/powerbi/MyReport?filter=myTable%2FmyField%20eq%20%27myValue%27

The first URL works fine. The entire report is visible in a Report Server web page as usual.

The issue is that the second URL shows only a blank page. No visual objects, no filter pane, nothing. Only a complete empty white page. Even if the filter will exclude all data, at least the report structure should be visible.

I'm sure that the URL is correct because, until the version of October 2020 of the Report Server, this report run correctly, with and without URL parameters. So, the problem is present only in Report Server of January 2021.

I confirm.

After updating PBI Report Server to Jan 2021 (Version 1.10.7698.27886) I am facing identical issue.

This anomaly is really damaging!
