September 2025 Refresh Issue On Prem
After much digging it turns out our users had added INFO functions into their reports which is causing the errors. Upon removing these the reports started functioning just fine so it was a case of bad timing as we upgraded to Sept 2025 and the users deciding to add this to the reports.
INFO functions (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
Apparently these only work on semantic models etc that are cloud based which explains why those were unaffected by this.
Hi dy059606,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
The error -1056178104: The CurrentCatalog XML/A property was not specified suggests a problem with how the Power BI Report Server's Analysis Services engine is resolving the database context during scheduled refreshes. Since the same reports work fine in your cloud workspace and data sources haven’t changed, this is likely specific to the on-prem setup post-update.
Here are a few steps to try:
- Check if you're using the September 2025 Power BI Desktop optimized for Report Server (build 2.147.1088.0). Open the affected .pbix files, manually refresh to confirm no issues, then republish to the server. This often resolves refresh glitches after updates.
- In Power BI Desktop, go to Transform Data > Data source settings and verify the SQL Server connection includes the database name.
Best regards,

Thnaks for your reply, our rpeort server and pbi desktop are running both Sept 2025 versions, the reports in question all refresh fine in desktop mode just not when uploaded to the server and we've also tried a reupload of working example in desktop to no avail.
Also confirmed that the DB name is included in the sql connections.
