Publishing failed: Unable to write data to a transport connection: Remote host forced to close

[maoyaqiang]

Hi friends,

    When I pubish my report to power bi service, power bi desktop told me: "Unable to write data to a transport connection: Remote host forced to close an existing connection". In addtion, the report could be publish to the web before Nov, 2019. 

   😭Does anybody know the reason and help me? Thank you very much😭

• Power BI desktop version:  2.79.5768.721 64-bit (2020 Year March)
• Pbix size: 800MB
• My power bi license: 
  • power bi free license
  • my account is the admin account of the domain
  • Power bi web admin portal setting ->Tenant settings -> publish to web, set to allow current code and new code

Hi @maoyaqiang ,

1. Too large data model may be a reason for your scenario, maybe you can try to cut down you data size and try again.
2. It could be the power bi server problem that you failed published
3. You can update the Power BI desktop to the latest version 2.80.5803.282 64-bit (April 2020) then publish again(Download link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494)
4. You can Go to Power BI service, Get Data-> Files to get pbix files, this has the same effect as publish from desktop.
5. If above methods are not working, please run Fiddler with Decrypt Https traffic enabled and repeat publish steps to reproduce the issue and post the related message for fur discussion

In addition, you can also take a look at following link who faced similar issue:
