    Hi KOLLER_VN,

     

    the refresh failed before Power BI could even start reading any tables because the connection between SQL Server and Oracle didn’t go through. Since it failed that early, Power BI couldn’t tell which table was involved. You’ll only see a table name when the issue happens after the connection is made, like during data reading or transformations.

     

    Thanks & Regards,

Hi KOLLER_VN,

 

Both errors are basically the same. The refresh failed before Power BI could start reading any tables because the connection between SQL Server and the Oracle database didn’t initialize properly. Since the failure happened at the connection stage, Power BI couldn’t identify or display a specific table name in the error message. In short, it’s a connection issue, not a problem with any particular table.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Prasanna Kumar

thank you Kumar.

i'm wondering why one shows impact table and another does not. It's easier to troubleshoot when knowing which has impact.
