SAP BW Connector do not work with June update
GregoryDF, saguado, Mgfjd123, MatheusLPS
I m not from SAP background and do not understand the need for this parameter [ScaleMeasures=false] when connecting to Bex query as in
let
Source = SapBusinessWarehouse.Cubes(<server ip>, <system number>, <port number>, [ScaleMeasures=false]),Try removing it and see if scheduling works. It seemed to work for me.
I removed ScaleMeasures=false and I am able to schedule refresh as well. I am not sure what ScaleMeasures does ?

Hello. Just an update to say that the problem is now solved for us, with the proposed solution (adding authorizations from BW security to the 4 tables to our roles).
Now it's working fine either in Desktop or Service.
And also, we had the problem with digits not loading properly, it can be set up in SAP Logon with transaction SU3 under number formating.
:) Now the last thing is that's it's very slow, but at least it's working :)

Hello,
We are struggling with the same thing but granting authorisation to those 4 tables does not seem to help :( Is there anything additional which was done to handle it?

:( It's still not working on my side.
In fact, it was working fine before the july update of the gateway and only PBI desktop was unable to update my SAP BW data.
About that, I checked with the SAP team here and it's caused by lack of authorizations on some tables. Below is the list Microsoft gave me:
RSTHIERNODE: only used when there are hierarchy node variables
• RSZGLOBV: only used when there are characteristic or hierarchy node variables
• RSDCHABAS: only used when there are characteristic or hierarchy node variables, and only if RSZGLOBV had values
• RSHIEDIR: only used when there are hierarchy node variables that point to external hierarchies (very unlikely)SAP security team is currently upgrading my security rights so it's not yet solved for me, but at least one of the admin tried to access the same tables as me with the July update of PBI Desktop and he was able to do it properly.
Hope it helps :)

Not that I'm aware of.
They granted us security on those tables and obviously the ones we're supposed to get data from, but aside from that, nothing specific.
Have you verified that except from Power BI, you're able to get the data you want from other tools like Webi?

I disconnected and tried again and it works! Thank you so much for the solution, it is a big help indeed :)

Yes even I noticed this thing. Quite strange, isn't it?
