September 2025 Refresh Issue On Prem

[dy059606]

Good morning, since updating to Sept 25 version a handfull of my dashboards have refused to run on scheduled refreshes throwing the error "[0] -1056178104: The CurrentCatalog XML/A property was not specified."

The dashboards in question all connect to the same sql server as they used to and the excel sources havent changed in any way, some reports are working fine some not. Theres not much on the internet regarding this error specifically in PBI on prem, i've tried a few fixes such as trusted servers, clearing permissions and relogging data sources and still no progress. I've got a version of this report in a PBI personal workspace (Cloud) and that exact same version refreshes just fine. 

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi I have problem, after Sept update, I can't refresh data from SQL Server Analysis Services database. 

Constantly get same error

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.

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.
