Combining a SharePoint query with a BW Message Server query in the PBI Service
Hi,
I have two queries in my dataset, as follows:
1. SAP BW Message Server ( Source = SapBusinessWarehouse.Cubes("system details", [Implementation="2.0"])). Privacy setting in Permissions in PBI Client is "Organizational". When query is not combined (or appended) to other queries, it retrieves data in client and PBI Service through a corporate gateway. Corporate Gateway privacy level is "Organizational". Credentials to the on-prem system are provided in the gateway by admin.
2. SharePoint Folder (Source = SharePoint.Files("link to SharePoint Site Root", [ApiVersion = 15])). Privacy setting in Permissions in PBI Client is "Organizational". I am logged onto SharePoint by using my Organizational account in the Client. When query is not combined (or appended) to other queries, it retrieves data in client and PBI Service through what I assume is native MS cloud integration (no gateway configuration needed). Data Source Credentials for SharePoint source is "Organizational", Authentication method is "OAuth2".
When combining or appending above two queries it works in PBI Client. But when published to PBI Service and the BW query (1) is onrolled to the corporate gateway, I get error as follows:
Underlying error code-2147467259

Our Infrastructure Service Provider has not been able to help in the matter and is suggesting yet another gateway to an on-prem file server for insourcing of the flat file instead of using SharePoint. Shouldn't it be possible to combine data from a SharePoint source with any other sources in the PBI Service as it is the PBI Client? What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Normally I would expect a formula firewall error but your privacy settings match. If you have Pro license you will want to raise a ticket with Microsoft, citing the Underlying error code-2147467259
For funsies, try to set the API level to 14.

Hi Ibendlin
Thanks for replying - appreciated. I would also have assumed that was related to privacy settings based on what I have read on similar issue threads. But it could be related to that formula firewall you are referring to - do you know if it is customizable in any way, or standard for all PBI-users?
I tried API version 14, and I am ufortunately able to replicate the entire scenario. If you get any other fun ideas, let me know 🙂
I tried accessing https://aka.ms/issues.powerbi.com which "Report an issue" links to, but I am taken to some Idea-page. So I am not assuming that I'm Pro, eventhough I should have a Pro license. Or do you start by submitting issues as ideas?
Thanks again.
