Data Source Credentials - Failed to Update Data Source Credentials

[arusky]

Hi,

My company is using Oracle database and it has been fine refreshing PBI reports daily until this morning.

The remote desktop was automatically restarted with Windows update last night, so I turned the personal gateway back on this morning.

However, when I try to refresh the datasets, it required me to update the Oracle dabase credential.

When I try to do, I get following message: Failed to update data source credentials: We're sorry, an error occurred during evaluation.

When I check the desktop's personal gateway, it looks fine. The status is online and ready to be used, and Network ports test is completed (succeeded).

Please advise.

Thank you,

Hi @arusky,

Sorry for delay reply.

Many issues can surface when the gateway version is out of date.

It's a good general practice to make sure you're on the latest version.

If you haven't updated the gateway for a month or longer, consider installing the latest version of the gateway. Then see if you can reproduce the issue.

It happened to the latest version of Gateway. I could resolve the issue by installing the old version of Gateway.

2. Update the data source credentials in Power BI Desktop.

Yep seeing the same thing. The only short-term fix is to delete and recreate. It will load 1-time refresh fails.
