Cant schedule refresh for this semantic model as the data sources currently dont support refresh

Hello - From the past few days, I see an error message, "You can't schedule refresh for this semantic model because the following data sources currently don't support refresh" in the settings of one of the Semantic Data Models.

 

I have searched for similar posts and could not find any post relevant for my scenario.

 

There are 4 refreshes schedule and I mostly see this message after the very 1st schedule is refreshed succesfully. But this message will disappear and next refresh is carried out successfully. Please suggest if anyone has come across similar situation.

Hello @Anonymous - Thanks for your response. As I mentioned, I do not have any issue with refresh. I see this error message after 1st refresh of the day. However, the subsequent refreshes are triggerred and completed succesfully. I do not have any issues with the data sources. I already created and mapped these datasets to gateway and used for scheduling refreshes.

 

Thanks,

Phani

Hi, @PSivapuram 

Did you still get this issue with your recent schedule refresh? Maybe this error message was just an accident. In general, this prompt means that there is a problem with your data source, but there is no problem with your dataset.
If this issue has not occurred recently and it refreshes normally, you can accept your reply as a solution.

Hi @PSivapuram ,

 

As per my knowledge it looks like the issue is not related to that dataset.If you see any issues in the data then you can think about it otherwise you can ignore it.

 

Thanks,

Hi, @PSivapuram 

Check which data sources are being used in the semantic model. You can do this by opening the model in Power BI Desktop, going to the Transform Data section, and using the Advanced Editor to view the data source details. Ensure that scheduled refresh supports all data sources. You can find a list of supported data sources in the following locations. If your model uses dynamic data sources or manually written queries, it can cause refresh issues. Please consider simplifying or modifying these queries to ensure compatibility. You can refer to the following link:

If the data source is a local file or a local database, make sure you have a properly configured gateway installed. This helps to maintain a stable connection for scheduled refreshes.
