Dataflow refresh error

Hi everyone, 

I have a powerbi pro subscription, and I have many dataflows and reports from different sources like postgresql, sql server and excel files from the desktop.

Normally, all the dataflows were being refreshed properly on a daily basis. But recently all of them just stopped refreshing.

The error message is: 

"Dataflow refresh error "AzureBlobs failed to get the response: 'Unable to connect to the remote server' " 

I have two gateways one is on the local pc another one is on the server. 

I updated the gateways and reinstalled Npgsql-4.0.1.0, but it still is not working.

However, the gateways are functioning when adding new entities and creating new dataflows. The problem is occurring only when  refreshing a dataflow.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

There’s a couple of possible reasons for this particular variant of the error :

1.Bad network.

2.Gateway version, configuration...

3.Data source location ,permission...

4.No enough memory,CPU...

You may update the gateway to the latest version , Confirm that the data source location has not changed , and re-enter credential when configure gateway in service.
