Python Script Connection Error SOAP API " An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote h

Dear all,


I'm using a python script in Power Bi to connect to another system via SOAP API.
It was working fine for some time, then the refresh started to work only 50% of the time (even manual refresh), no it's not working at all for some of my scripts. The same script is still working while running it outside of power bi in a jupyter notebook, only not working in power bi anymore. 


I got this error:

"DataSource.Error: ADO.NET: Python script error.
<pi>ConnectionResetError: [WinError 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

urllib3.exceptions.ProtocolError: ('Connection aborted.', ConnectionResetError(10054, 'An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host', None, 10054, None))

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

</pi>
ErrorCode=-2147467259
ExceptionType=Microsoft.PowerBI.Scripting.Python.Exceptions.PythonScriptRuntimeException"



Can someone help me with this problem?

Thank you!

Hi @cvandendriesche ,

 

There are many reasons result in this issue,such as the host or remote network interface is disabled, the remote host uses a hard close,the peer application on the remote host is suddenly stopped.Sometimes trying this from inside a firewalled Corporate network is also caused this error. Please rule out these possibilities first.

 

Best Regards,
Liang
