Hi Anonymous,

Could you please provide details about the following things?

1. What version and edition of the SSAS server?
2. Do you install the gateway and SSAS server in a same domain or trusted domains?
3. Verify that if appropriate ports are opened in firewall.
4. Do you use alias to connect to the SSAS server? If so, please use actual machine name or IP address to connect to the SSAS server.
5. Make sure that if your account has sufficient permission to the SSAS server and database.

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

    1. What version and edition of the SSAS server?  

         SSAS 2012 - 11.0.6540.0


    2. Do you install the gateway and SSAS server in a same domain or trusted domains?

         Yes.   The gateway is installed on SSAS Server.


    3. Verify that if appropriate ports are opened in firewall.

         Yes this is done.   From my email the existing data sources are still working and can connect.   I can add a new SQL Server       connection and it is able to connect.


    4. Do you use alias to connect to the SSAS server? If so, please use actual machine name or IP address to connect to the SSAS server.

    Existing connections are using aliases.   I have tried the machine name also and get the same errorl


    5. Make sure that if your account has sufficient permission to the SSAS server and database.

    Same account that the other connections are using and is an admin account.  Side question:  Has this changed to only need read permissons yet?

     

    Thanks!

        Hi Anonymous,

        The latest version of Power BI gateway is 14.16.6228.1, please firstly upgrade your gateway to the latest version, then connect to SSAS database and check if you get any errors.

        If you still get connection errors, please help to post detailed error message in gateway log.

        Thanks,
        Lydia Zhang
