Database Name Not Optional (SSAS Tabular Direct Connect)
Note: this question is similar to this (older) thread, but the functionality doesn't seem to be working exactly as designed, preventing me from doing what I need: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desk...
Hi,
I have the exact same problem.
We have been developing a big report in one perspective and want to change to another. This is not possible because we need to enter the database.
Have you found any solution?
I never did find a solution, but it is server specific - it's only one of my SSAS tabular servers that I can't switch to (or connect to without typing in a database name). Other SSAS tabular servers work just fine, so it is definitely something to do with the SSAS server. I just don't know what the difference is.
It could potentially be Kerberos delegation related, but that's a Pandora's box to open, so I chose not to.
Perhaps submit a frown, and please do update the thread if you learn anything useful? I never frowned.
