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.
Is there an update on this? This is still an ongoing issue on the most recent version of Power BI as of February.
Doesnt seem like Jan update has been released yet. Latest available PBI version is still Dec release. Hope they release the Jan update soon because this is causing a serious backlog of work for my team.
I went back to the September 2022 version and I'm not updating either the web version or the desktop version again until one of us who actually uses it says a new version works. So, who will be the first person to test drive when a new release comes out? Not me!
Unfortunately our IT policy auto updates PBI to latest version automatically and they do not alllow reg edits to implement the work around. We're stuck waiting for the update ☹️
ahp-sig bribe the IT admin to place you into another container with a modified group policy 😉
