Hi Experts,
I have developed reports and shared the same via SharePoint with businesses and now they are facing the below error.
Error Message:
We couldn't connect to your DirectQuery data source or internal model. Double-check that your server and database names are correct and that you have permission to access them.
Error Message Detail:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The semaphore timeout period has expired.); The semaphore timeout period has expired. The exception was raised by the IDbConnection interface.
Please kindly help me with this, I need to resolve it asap.
Thanks & Regards,
Heena Kousar
