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 ,

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.
