Anonymous Good questions, yes, and yes. I have published this several times already, so it has worked... it just stops working and won't re-publish until I delete it on the service side.

joglidden Whatever action you choose. be sure to send a frown via the desktop, this shouldn't be happening.

    Anonymous The problem is that it never errors out, so I can't capture anything. I would like to send a frown with some useful info, but I'm not sure how to get them any. Thanks for your questions and advice.

      Hi joglidden,

       

      I'm not able to reproduce the issue in my environment, would you please share more information with us to reproduce it?

       

      1. In Power BI Desktop, do you use DirectQuery or Import mode?

      2. Have you configured RLS settings in desktop?

      3. Does the issue only occur for this particular .PBIX file, or for any .PIBX file?

       

      I would suggest you republish the report by Get Data->Files->Local File in Power BI Service to check if the report can be published again. Also please open the Power BI Desktop trace log files around the time publishing the report to see if you can find any useful information, see: Power BI Desktop Trace Logs Analyser.

       

      If you have nay question, please feel free to ask.

       

      Best Regards,
      Qiuyun Yu

        v-qiuyu-msft Thank you for responding. 

        I am using direct query. In order for it to work, I must run a VPN and the on-premises data gateway. 

        I have never used import mode for any report.

        I have not configured RLS (row-level security) in desktop. 

        Just this PBIX file, which is pulling data from a remote 2012 SQL Server database. 

        I don't seem to have the issue for the pbix files that are pulling data from local xlsx sources.

        Yes, I have been able to re-publish the report several times since I originally posted. 

        It works for a while, then it doesn't.

        Thank you for the link. The next time it happens, I will see if I can find some info from the logs.
