embedded upload fail--cannot find or open PDB file

[ThomasDay]

Hello all,

I have a .pbix model that I'm ready to upload to azure and embed into our website.  It's pretty big--not that that should matter--- 265MB.  

I have uploaded a very preliminary version previously, so I know the drill with Workspace Collection Names, workspace ID's, and Key's.  I have two keys with this file and I have tried both.  Here is the error message:

'ProvisionSample.vshost.exe' (CLR v4.0.30319: ProvisionSample.vshost.exe): Loaded 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Net\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\System.Net.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.

I don't know what the PDB file is--this is all pretty foreign to me, so any help would be appreciated.

Here's a link to a txt file of the upload log.

@jocaplan-MSFT  Hello jocaplan--any thoughts?  This may be a question for the MSFT support team.  Thanks, Tom

The service currently only supports files under 250 MB

OK, let me figure out how to make it smaller.  Is that limit likely to remain? Thanks, Tom

[ThomasDay]

I'll try uploading it tomorrow now that I've skinnied it up.  

The size limit was a surprise, to be honest, since the model can be much larger--I didn't imagine an Azure embed limit.

Thanks, I'll keep you posted,

Tom

@jocaplan-MSFT I spoke too soon.  I skinnied the model up to 243mb and attempted to embed into azure.  The error I got was the same (shown below). I suspect there is context provided in the debug file, which I've attached as a link to a dropbox shared .txt file.

'ProvisionSample.vshost.exe' (CLR v4.0.30319: ProvisionSample.vshost.exe): Loaded 'C:\Users\trday\Desktop\power-bi-embedded-integrate-report-into-web-app-master\ProvisionSample\bin\Debug\Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.

I'm not sure how to fix the issue so I'm hoping the power bi team can give me a hand.  Thanks for any help in advance,

Tom

Good morning @jocaplan-MSFT : I gave things a try again this am.  Not that it matters, I used a cabled internet connection.  I also fiddled with the app to make it slightly smaller after my Friday/Saturday reworking to bring it below the 250MB max..  Still not having success.

Same error: 'ProvisionSample.vshost.exe' (CLR v4.0.30319: ProvisionSample.vshost.exe): Loaded 'C:\Users\trday\Desktop\power-bi-embedded-integrate-report-into-web-app-master\ProvisionSample\bin\Debug\Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.

The file is 243MB.  Is there some way to get some support on this?  Here's the full diagnostic file from the embed app.

Here's the debug file in a shared .txt file on dropbox.

If this isn't something you can help with directly, any chance you could let me know who might be able to provide support?

Thanks,

Tom

The issue turned out to be the timeout settings in the ProvisionSample project.  A buddy found the issue and changed the 90second timeout to 60 minutes.  Worked great.  This is surely a common problem.

It is within the "CreateClient" function within Program.cs within ProvisionSample.  The line we changed is now: 

client.HttpClient.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 60, 0);

A link that will work for 7 days from my dropbox is here.  This Program.cs file goes in ProvisionSample and replaces the existing.

More importantly, I am going to put a comment at the github source and perhaps it will be modified by the author or maintainers.
