    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)

After the update, it appears that the refresh is now also working on the service.

I can also add that the refresh is much faster to complete and less resource intensive on the SAP BW side.

Now we just need to figure out the security settings, but that's unrelated to this thread.

Same thing here, the new gateway can refresh BW 2.0 connector based reports. Just need to install the SAP driver on it.
