Reports using on-premise gateway do not support 'use single transaction when processing the queries'

Hi,

 

I get an error message: Reports using on-premise gateway do not support 'use single transaction when processing the queries' when running a paginated report.

 

How can I avoid this message? In didn't find any checbox like 'use single transaction'. On the internet I've found a solution where there refer to a setting like this, but in the current version of power bi report builder seems to have lost this setting.

 

In the paginated report there is 1 datasource & 1 dataset using this datasource. Several parameters with default calculated value, but without a dataset. The datasource is a private azure sql, we use a gateway to connect to the private resources.

 

Thanks,

 

Regards,

Dennis

Was this report migrated from an on-prem report server? Have you tried searching through the .rdl file with a text editor to see if there are any properties in there with "transaction" in them?

If you create a report in Visual Studio, there is a toggle for this setting when you create your data source.  Power BI Report Building is missing the toggle.

Out of curiousity, do you have any idea how this setting got in there? Did you use the publish option from an on-prem server to push this report onto the service or did you use some other process?

Indeed...

I've deleted the line: <Transaction>True</Transaction> and it works!

Thanks!
