Error while connecting from a web data source
- 3 years ago
Hi Aqib_Mughal ,
This error message "we encountered an error while trying to connect. Details: the underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send" usually occurs when there is an issue with the SSL/TLS certificate or the cipher suite used for the connection. You can try the following steps to resolve the issue:
-
Check if the SSL/TLS certificate is valid and not expired. If it is expired, you need to renew it.
-
Check if the cipher suite used for the connection is supported by the server. You can try changing the cipher suite to a supported one.
-
Check if the firewall is blocking the connection. You can try disabling the firewall temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
-
Check if the server is running the latest version of the software. If not, you need to update it to the latest version.
-
Check if the server is overloaded or under heavy load. If so, you need to wait for some time and try again later.

Aqib_Mughal , Check do you have access to data still.
From Home -> Transform Data -> Data Source setting -> clear permission and try again.
