Help with meaning of PowerBI Refresh Error code

I need help with the meaning of the following error codes

 

DMTS_MonikerWithUnboundDataSources
DMTS_UserNotFoundinADGraphError
Gateway_Offline
ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_CancelledByUser
ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_CancelledByUser
ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_ServiceError
ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_CredentialsNotSpecified
ProcessingTimeOut

There errors happen when refreshing datasets.

 

Use case: I want to create a report that explains in plain English to management, the meaning of these errors. We have complaints from users about reports sometimes not refreshing. I need to be able to explain errors in terms of whether they are caused by report design, datasources, orphaned datasets, etc.

  • Hi tumuju 

     

    From the above list they all appears to be self explanitory. What are you having issues with?

     

    DMTS_MonikerWithUnboundDataSources - Data source is not bound to any connection.
    DMTS_UserNotFoundinADGraphError - Azure Active Directory (Entra ID) user cannot be found.
    Gateway_Offline - Gateway is offline.
    ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_CancelledByUser - Dataset refresh was cancelled by the user.
    ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_ServiceError - Power BI Service error.
    ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_CredentialsNotSpecified - No credentials specified for the data source.
    ProcessingTimeOut - Processing of the data source timed out.

      The error messages on the surface might seem self explanatory but there isn't sufficient detail. For example

      ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_ServiceError - Power BI Service error---What does this mean? Does this mean the Power BI cloud service is getting a hiccup, is there a network level issues, is it a credential issue?
