The given data source kind is not supported

Hi community,

 

  • I made my own, custom, Google Analytics (GA) connector for power BI.
  • Connector uses own OAuth authentication to GA api services
  • It works well on desktop Power BI (w/ my GA credentials)
  • I've created simple report that uses data model based on that GA connector.
  • Then I've published report to power bi cloud
  • There, in cloud, report works and connector works (as I used personal gateway for that), but when you try to refresh model it can't authenticate to GA. Error is weird: "Failed to update data source credentials: The given data source kind is not supported. Data source kind: GAAnalytics."

GAAnalitycs is a Data Source kind of my connector.

DataSource.Kind="GAAnalytics"

What I'm doing wrong? Please, suggest.

Hi @vhytyk,

 

Please refer to Custom-Data-Connectors-on-Power-BI-Service. The answer could be in blob/master/docs/m-extensions.md#implementing-testconnection-for-gateway-support.

Thanks! It was TestConnection property. Once I set it up - all worked. 

Now I have issue w/ predefined parameters for model. I made a parameter, upload model, trying to change parameter in model setting on cloud - got an error: Failed to Update Parameter Values

On desktop power BI updating parameter works OK.
