Error when uplpoading .PBIX file in to PowerBi report server

Hi,

 

We upgraded to PowerBI report server November release, but When i am uploading .PBIX file to Report server I encountered below error.

 

There was an error uploading your .pbix file. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.

 

Data Source : SQL Server 2016 and import data option.

 

is Still PowerBI report server dont support other data source except SSAS live connection ?

Hi @Miruthan,

 

1. Please ensure you are running the latest Power BI report server 1.1.6530.30789 and desktop version 2.51.4885.1423 64-bit (October 2017). 

2. Open web portal, check if you are able to publish view Upload button. 

3. Please try to create a new report get data from the same database then publish again to see if the issue related to the report itself. 

 

Best Regards,

The November GA supports data sources other than SSAS. For the complete list look here:

What version of the client did you create the report in?

cyclist007

Have you added the "NT SERVICE\PowerBIReportServer" account to the server? That resolved it for me.
