Scheduled Refresh Failing in October 2020

Hi Lorenz33 ,

This is a known issue that has been submitted internally (ICM#: 216889995). Engineers are working on a fix. If there is any new message, I'll update it in this thread. Thanks for your understanding.

In addition, one workaround for reference:

1. Before the PBIX file is upgraded to the new format in the October 2020 version of PBI Desktop (Optimized for PBIRS), a backup copy is saved in the AppData folder: 

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop SSRS\TempSaves\Backups 

2. Open PBI Desktop and turn off the Enhanced Metadata option. Go to File -> Options and settings -> Options -> Global-Preview features -> then uncheck the option: 

3. Restart Power BI Desktop 

4. Reopen the backup PBIX file 

5. You should be able to use this version of the report and publish it to the PBIRS server. It is the v1 model and the same format as in May 2020 PBIRS. 

Best Regards,

Icey
