Hi,
I am wondering if somebody can give me some advice....
I have created a simple test report on the desktop version of Power BI which hits my Oracle database fine. Saving the same report on a Power BI Report Server and running it does not work even though the tnsnames information is correct.
I have also noticed that the data source settings with in the report are greyed out:
However, I can create a data source on the Power BI Reporting server and test it fine:
I am fairly confident therefore the Oracle client info and tnsnames.ora server side are OK. How do I go about playing with the data source on the uploaded report if it is greyed out?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
THis was resolved by restarting the Power BI Reprt Server service. The options are still greyed out but the data source actually now works.
