Hi.
I receive these lines frequently in msmdsrv.log (error is in the last line and type, category and event ID are always the same):

It's apparent that there is something wrong with AS. No report can be opened. No report can be refreshed either. I receive "Failed to connect to AS" when refreshing reports. Tried running PBI service as different accounts, disabling AV (KES) and repairing RS installation (May 2023, 1.17.8552.27722) with no luck. This happened all of a sudden without any change in configurations. No process is listening on 5132 according to netstats. I have circumvented this situation by disabling CriticalErrorHandling, but I believe that this is not the right way. I'm looking for the root cause as I have two high-load RS instances (one for each of the two companies I work for) and any unresolved issues can make severe problems in the future.
Thanks.
------------------------------
EDIT: My second server (server for the second company I work for) just started to give the same error from August, 31st morning. PLEASE everyone if you have any idea, let me know. The bad news is that although I have modified msmdsrv.ini on both servers, AS engine stops working at a frequency of "2-3 times a day" to "every 1-2 days". I don't know what causes a critical error in AS engine.Thanks!
So, I managed to overcome this situation as follows:
This way, I'm at least sure server will come back online whenever AS engine fails. I have a report which is refreshed every 5 minutes and this guarantees that AS engine failure is detected shortly.
Hope this helps someone else.
Regards.
You should raise a ticket with Microsoft support. This is not expected behaviour.
Hi.
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I cannot receive MS support because I'm from Iran. I should receive support from third parties.
Regards
