Scheduled Cache Refreshing issue

I just cloned and published an existing report as new report with some modifications.

 

The report data sources are in import mode but the new report refreshing technique has been changed from *Scheduled refresh* to *Scheduled cache refresh*

 

Scheduled cache refresh is not refreshing the dataset i.e. report is not showing the most recent data. The original report, which is in scheduled refresh works fine.

 

The new report dataset settings page gives me the underneath message.

 

The data gateway nws-enterprise-gateway is online, but one or more of your data sources is offline.

Hi , @prabakaran 

What data source you are using?

I'm little confused about this word"The report data sources are in import mode but the new report refreshing technique has been changed from *Scheduled refresh* to *Scheduled cache refresh*".

How did you convert the data source from import mode to directquery mode? By creating  a new report and then copying the visualizations one by one?

Maybe you can take a try to configure a new datasoucre in your gateway.

The master dataset that I’m checking is refreshing without any issues. The linked dataset refresh is also completing normally

 

However the data in the linked dataset is not same as the master dataset.  

 

Is there an approach to check which master dataset the linked dataset is connected to?

Hi , @prabakaran 

This is too strange .In theory, when there is a model of mixed data sources of import and directquery, the service will only display the option of “Scheduled  Refresh ” rather than   “Scheduled Cache Refresh”.

 

Please check if there is some query that the option "Include in report refresh" is not selected.

By default, the report sources are in import mode but when I published the report, it automatically picked up the scheduled cache refresh.  The report has different information sources. The following are some extra subtleties

The original report normal dataset and the linked dataset are fetching from same datasource based on datasourceId retrieving using Datasets - Get Datasources In Group (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/getdatasourcesingroup) api.

API output:

 

One of the data source from the normal dataset:

 

{      "datasourceType": "ODBC",      "connectionDetails": {        "connectionString": "dsn=power bi werp access"      },      "datasourceId": "5afa7f15-c429-4cf0-9c54-778a5ad1d167",      "gatewayId": "13fcb419-8701-4387-ab33- xxxxxxxx"    }

 

Same source from the linked dataset:

 

{

      "name": "2019669",

      "connectionString": "Provider=Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1;Data Source=$EmbeddedMashup(ce561568-46f3-4b9b-b264-e3680a17d0ca)$;Location=Vendor;Extended=12321312,

      "datasourceType": "ODBC",

      "connectionDetails": {

        "connectionString": "dsn=power bi werp access"

      },

      "datasourceId": "5afa7f15-c429-4cf0-9c54-778a5ad1d167",

      "gatewayId": "13fcb419-8701-4387-ab33-xxxxxxxx"

    }

 

The scheduled cache refresh appears to be completing normal however the report data is NOT getting refreshed. Any idea why?
