Report server On Premise refresh failed
Thank you for your answer, after 7 hours of search i found the solution on this forum. The Events table in the reportserver DB had too many records, i had to clear it and all reports started to refresh. It was strange, that many report did refresh, but half of them not, the server CPU and RAM usage was low, and no log entry pointed to refresh problems. I think MS should patch this asap in some form. Thank you again for your help.
Hi, martinbrauer86
First, you should check whether your report data credentials have permission to be placed as your data source.
Make sure you don't schedule too many scheduled refreshes at the same time, which will cause resource congestion with report server refresh request operations.
You can do a simple test by following the steps below:
Upload a report that uses only SQL Server as the data source, the report contains a simple dataset, set up a scheduled refresh for it, then add data to the table in the SQL Server data source, and finally manually perform a scheduled refresh to see if the data is updated (note that you need to press F5 or manually refresh the browser page to see if the changes change).
Now insert a new data and perform a refresh manually:
Return to the report page to see if the latest insert data is displayed:
If your report server refreshes properly in the test above, your configuration is fine. All you need to do is republish your report to Power BI Report Server, restart your report server, and configure scheduled refresh again to make sure that you currently have only one scheduled refresh running to avoid the impact of insufficient resources.
