Errors when importing table as DirectQuery on IBM DB2 connection

Hello Guru's

 

We are having a hard time using DirectQuery import on DB2 database as there are errors when we try to get the tables.

Is this related to the data source or a bug on Power BI Desktop?

 

Appreciate your thoughts on this.

 

Cheers,

Hi @jvmauricio ,

 

Please firstly check if the data works fine in the original data source (IBM DB2).

And try go to Data source settings-->Clear the permission and then re-connect to it. Or try to use Import mode .

In addition, I'd suggest you always use the latest version of PBI to avoid unexpected errors.
