Hi lewand03,

 

From the description, the SAP BW service is configured to use specific port. You need to contact the SAP BW administrator to set the default port for prodserver.net.

Thank you v-qiuyu-msft

 

Your soulution sound reaspnable, and I'll try to talk to my administrator, however I'd prefer any solution whic doesn't impact other 2500 users, portal settings etc.

 

Is there any way to force Power Bi to use proper port?

 

Thanks,

dariusz

    Hi, I have the same problem and context (no way I can have the port number of our Prod BW landscape change to default...): any chance to have a way to specify / force a different port number ?

     

    Thanks

      Did anyone ever find a solution to this issue?  I think its a port isue for me also.  The error references 3300 port but I believe my SAP BW is on 3317.  How do I tell Power BI to use port 3317?

        You should write 17 as value of System number parameter of connection to SAP BW.
