Implementation 2.0 SAP Connector
Just an update that with June deployment of the gateway, this is now working as expected with the reports being to be refreshed on PBI service
Hi,
The error message you have posted seems slightly different to the original thread although root cause may be the same.
The symptom that the original issue was related is:
- BW 2.0 connector refreshes sucessfully on Desktop
- Same PBIX BW 2.0 connector fails on Service
The fix was to update the gateway with June patch (released 29th June - version 14.16.6745.2)

Anonymous,
Can you successfully refresh data in Power BI Desktop? The above error message mentions Group Perfect Purchase Orders table, please check if there are any issues in this table in Power BI Desktop.
In addition, please make sure that you are able to connect to SAP BW from clients which are installed in the same machine with gateway.
Regards,
Lydia
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, connecting and updating the data in Desktop works perfectly.
The VM running the gateway has a user with access to BW, and when setting up the connection in the PBI Gateway Manager it checks as working.
So I'm guessing that the problem is with the gateway software not having the BasXml.Gzip execution file.
Does that have to be installed separately?
Hello,
I guess you have to wait for June version of the gateway, which may include the new mashup engine able to use the installed 2.0 connector.
Regards.
Year, it looks like it.
Strange though that MS will release a new connector that doesn't work with their gateway...
