SAP BW POwer BI Connection Error

Hi askrajeev ,

The RETURN CODE DEALLOCATED NORMAL error you're encountering after the SAP Kernel upgrade typically points to a session or connection termination issue between Power BI and SAP BW. This can happen due to protocol or compatibility mismatches introduced during the kernel upgrade. A few steps you can take include verifying that the SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK version used by the Power BI SAP BW connector is still compatible with the new kernel version.

Also, ensure that the Power BI SAP BW connector is up to date, as Microsoft occasionally releases updates to maintain compatibility with SAP changes. You might also want to check if Single Sign-On (SSO) settings or network security policies were impacted by the upgrade. If the issue persists, enabling detailed logging in Power BI and SAP can help pinpoint the root cause. Coordinating with your SAP Basis team to review logs on the SAP side when the error occurs could also provide valuable insight.
