    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)

Hello,

I saw your question is resolved.

But please advise if your report is built on BW Application Server or BW Message Server connection please?

 

(Our BW Application server based reports works fine with gateway+scheduled refresh).

However not even able to add BW Message server as datasource yet. Gateway only has .Net Connector in our case.

Should work with both Message Server and Application Server. But you have to install .NET connector (2.0) on both desktop and gateway. The report need to be build with that connector however you are not using it on the gateway when moving to automated refreshs.
