ExecuteXmla failed with results

After upgrading to Sep 2021, unable to open PBIX files that are older and larger in filesize. It  is also unable to do a refresh of the data source. Have tried uninstall and reinstall but does not resolve the issue.

Also did not encounter this issue for the same PBIX file on another machine running on Jul 2021 version.

thankyou for your suggestion @amitchandak , however I realised that I had installed a 32-bit version instead of a 64-bit version... hence issue is resolved now.

@kimloh_p , Try to reduce data in your tables.

 

Increase data management cache(8-10 GB), also make sure hard drive has sufficient free space
