Error Message Trying to Hit iSeries DB2
ChuckS After much investigation, I believe there is an issue with the latest version of PBI. I went to the archive Previous monthly updates to Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn and pulled the September version https://download.microsoft.com/download/8/8/0/880BCA75-79DD-466A-927D-1ABF1F5454B0/PBIDesktopSetup-2022-09_x64.exe I was able to connect to the DB2 without issue.
I am a developer who works on the Mashup (aka PowerQuery) engine.
If you contact support for this issue, please tell them it has been opened in ICM#348059006, and in Power Query Bug #945088.
I have attached workaround instructions in both of those places.
I have also placed the workaround steps here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AoVHHqNdBM4VgQfWbxvB-rZOCWfr?e=amInQA
Has this been fixed yet in the December Update?
There is no December update. The latest version is of November and the issue remains.
