    Hi  vojtechremis ,

     

    Based on the information provided in your error message, you first need to make sure that the workspace capacity of the dataset in which this report is located also meets the prerequisites for implementing an XMLA connection, and that the workspace XMLA connection is open:

    Hi, thank you very much. I was able to solve the problem by explicitly passing datasetID of parent semantic model and setting parameter xmlaPermission (in .NET implementation dataset´s IDs are being passed automatically based on ReportID). I found a bit of information in one of the threads you provided and here: Generate an embed token in Power BI embedded analytics - Power BI | Microsoft Learn.

     

    In case of anyone else will be dealing with the same problem, I had to:

    • in PbiEmbedService.cs: add parent datasetID to datasetIds before they are being passed to GenerateTokenRequestV2Dataset() method
    • when calling GenerateTokenRequestV2Dataset() add xmlaPermission parameter: GenerateTokenRequestV2Dataset(datasetId.ToString(), xmlaPermissions: XmlaPermissions.ReadOnly). Here I had to use newest PowerBI API (4.20.0).
