Hi,
I'm getting an intermittent error when clicking the "refresh" icon in a Power BI report online. The error is:
"The connection to the Analysis Services instance timed out or was lost. Ensure that the server and the SQL Browser service are running"
The report is connecting to an on-premise SSAS 2014 Tabular model via the Enterprise Gateway and an HTTP PUMP link. It works fine most of the time but other times happens alot. I ran profiler on the tabular server and can see queries hitting the server when I refresh the report. When I looked at the Power BI Enterprise Gateway logs I saw errors:
[DM.Pipeline.Common] Non-gateway exception encountered in activity scope: Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdConnectionException: The connection either timed out or was lost. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.HttpStream.GetResponseStream()
at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.HttpStream.GetResponseDataType()
The error happens instantly, in that I click "refresh" and the error will appear immediately.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks
Andy
@Anonymous This seems more of an analysis service issue than Power BI. I found this article for you to use and troubleshoot this issue.
