SharePoint: Request failed: Unable to connect to the remote server

Hello all,

 

I have the following problem on Power BI Report Server:

 

I´m using a Sharepoint-Source for my report. 

When I publish my report to the server and try to schedule a refresh, the following error occurs:

SharePoint: Request failed: Unable to connect to the remote server

 

SharePoint: Request failed: Unable to connect to the remote server. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface.

 
 

Does anyone has an idea what´s the problem?

I tried both: Sharepoint online & Sharpoint on-prem (same error message)

I tried Windows- and Anonym-Authentication (same error message)

 

On Power BI Desktop everything works fine, I also can publish the report to the server. Only the refresh doesn´t work.

 

I´ve already read a lot of this problem in the internet but there was no solution. Yould cou please help me?

 

Thank you!

 

Kind regards

NiHi
