Power BI Report server - Issue with deploying power bi report

Hi v-qiuyu-msft,

Adding the service account NT SERVICE\PowerBIReportServer as a local admin on the server has resolved the issue for me and I can now upload Power BI reports to the report server.

Normal SSRS reports upload fine without this permission but PBI reports will not. Maybe something missing from installation that assigns the required permission to the service account?

Thanks for following this up with the escalation engineer.

Hi all,

we encountered the same issue.

Version of server : August 2018

Version of PBI Desktop RS : August 2018

We can open and save paginated reports on server, but can't open nor save PBI reports on server.
On log, stricly nothing appears !!

Only a "Unexpected error encountered" when trying to save report.

I try of course all tips provided (change account, ...) but nothing works.

regards

Hi shamsuddeenvp,

Please check if you create this report in Power BI Desktop (Power BI Report Server). You can save the .pbix file local, then upload the file to report server via Upload option.

Hello v-qiuyu-msft and all 

Thanks for your help, now i could publish my PowerBI report to the PBI report server. 

for conclusion:

here is my situation 

i used SSAS tabular mode as the datasource.

i have SSRS report server and SSRS PBI report server on the same machine 

and I have a instance "A" for SSRS RS and instance "B" (PBIRS) like default install for SSRS PBI   

i configured  URL : http://server_name:80/Reports_A for SSRS report server  web portal 

      and         URL : http://serverè_name:81/Reports_PBI for SSRS PBI report server web protal. 

then  i  tried to deploy the report to the PBI report server (i could deploy all the report(and create data source on the PBIRS except the PBI report.)   

then after the suggestion of  v-qiuyu-msft   

i changed the service account from Virtual service account to admin in the PBIRS manager. 

Now i could depoy the PBI report to the PBIRS 

Thanks =>

Regards 

Hi Shams, 

I was getting the same error message when trying to publish my PBI reports to PBI Report Server. However, when I downgraded my PBI desktop (optimised for Report Server) to match the Report Server version so in my case uninstalling my desktop version (March 2018) then installing Oct 2017) this did the trick and I was able to publish successfully without any issues. 

The other option is to obviously upgrade the Report Server to the latest version (or to match your desktop version) but this should be tested first on non-production systems and it's easier to test locally first before messing with servers. 

Hope this helps, 

Jay

I have the same issue with the August 2018 release.

Power BI Desktop: 2.61.5192.641 64-bit (August 2018)

Power BI Report Server: 1.3.6816.37243 (August 2018)

The errors are:

1) Save as: "An error occurred while attempting to save the report to Power BI Report Server"

2) Upload any file from PBIRS: "There was an error uploading your .pbix file. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."

I can see an error in the logs: "Unable to connect to the remote server", which I guess may refer to the ReportServer database. However, I can create new folders from PBIRS. It does not seem to be a SSAS issue, as I get the same errors deploying or uploading a report with just text.

Any ideas welcome, other than just using Azure.
