Can't Create a Scheduled Refresh plan - 503 error
- 7 years ago
I apologize for lack of answer but we did resolve it.
Since the reports worked I went in and downloaded all of the powerBI files posted to the site.
I went in and did a complete uninstall of the server application. This included removing the database (default name: PowerBIReportServer ) I had previously left it there as I wanted to try and keep the system running as it was.
On re-install and recreation of the database i was able to post a pbix file and set the schedule.

Looks to me like the call that is failing is between two of the RS processes. The log entry you pasted is from RSPortal_*.log, which is the portal process. The call that's failing is a SOAP call from that process to the internal RS process. The internal RS process's log will look like ReportingServicesService_*.log.
From the portal process' point of view, the RS Process isn't available or the SOAP call is failing for some other reason. I believe you should find more interesting information in the RS process log (ReportingServicesService_*.log).
What's going on there at the same time?
Sorry for the long reply. Apppreciate the advice given and I definitely used it to start digging around.
What it looks like to me is that the local service is not running. If I go to the ReportServer Conmfiguration tool and look at the the left Menu Item Web Service URL and click on the link there for http:,servername>:80/reportserver then it goes to a 503 service unavailable page. Going to look here now.
Tried changing it from a Virtual Account to a Network Service but still no go. Those are my only two options from the main screen. I can designate domain account and will try that. Anyone seen anything like this?

I am having the exact error message. Did you find a resolution to this issue? We applied SSL certificate in our on-premise report server. we are able to view reports without any issues. It is just scheduling a new refresh when we encounter this type of issue.
