I'm developing a new Power BI application where I'm using an Oracle Database connection.
In the Power BI Desktop, I can authenticate the credentials and get data form Database with connection string and SQL query:
Power BI Desktop asks for the database credentials and once I authenticate it is possible to get data from server, but once I publish to Power BI Service, it is not allowing me to input the credentials, it returns an error:
With this error I can't configure the automatic refresh.
Solved! Go to Solution.
