Couldn't publish to Power BI: An Exixting Connection was forcibly closed by remote host?

[Palomar]

When I try to publish my BI report, I get the following message:

Couldn't publish to Power BI:

An error occurred while attempting to publish 'myfile.pbix":

Unable to write data to the transport connection: An existing

connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

Does anyone have a solution or work-around for this error?

Power BI Desktop to the latest version and adjust parallel loading settings to prevent simultaneous execution of multiple queries, ensuring a successful report refresh. However, this may lead to a longer refresh time compared to parallel processing.

Hi  @Palomar ,

You may consider this limitations:

1. Too large data model may be a reason for your scenario, maybe you can try to cut down you data size and try again.
2. It could be the power bi server problem that you failed published.
3. You can update the Power BI desktop to the latest version then publish again.
4. You can Go to Power BI service, Get Data-> Files to get pbix files, this has the same effect as publish from desktop.
5. If above methods are not working, please run Fiddler with Decrypt Https traffic enabled and repeat publish steps to reproduce the issue and post the related message for fur discussion.

In addition, you can also take a look at following link who faced similar issue:

@Palomar OK, couple more questions. Are you using any custom connectors? Also, how big is your file?
