Refresh error: Reason: PrivacySetting - "Information is needed in order to combine data"
- 7 years ago
Hi Anonymous and everyone else.
I think I have narrowed the changes of Privacy Settings in Gateway data source list down to the launch of Dataflows which happened same week.
The way Dataflows currently work has some unwanted sideeffects on Gateway Data source settings. If I add a Dataflow from Source A it will automatically change Source A privacy settings to "None" in the Gateway settings.
If I then change Source A back to "Organisational" in my Gateway settings my Schedules Refresh works again. Untill next time I go and fiddle around with a Dataflow from Source A resulting it to change back to "None" in Gateway settings.
... in addition, let's say you don't have a Source B in your Gateway source list yet. The moment you add a Dataflow from Source B it will automatically add Source B to your Gateway source list resulting in potentially unwanted sources in the Gateway....
Thank you! This solution was helpful for us today. we also implemented Dataflows and then immediately had this error.
can we get a moderator or admin to look into this issue, this issue isn't solved, this is a defect of deploying dataflows. All that has been identified is the root area that the issue stems from. This needs to be fixed by MSFT, it was never communicated that by trying out a new feature it would break all production reports in the service.

We are also getting this error. Datasets that were previosly refreshing fine are now getting the error
Microsoft.Data.Mashup.MashupSecurityException.Reason: PrivacySetting I have changed all Gateway data sources to None but this has not helped. Has anyone found a solution.
We have also started to use Dataflows and I am sure that this triggered the error.

dcresp instead of "None" I actually set all sources to "Enterprise" and then it worked.

I use an Enterprise Gateway and have it set to use the Enterprise Gateway. In the Gateway Data Source settings under Advanced settings Privacy Level settings for this data source the options I get are None, Private, Organisational and Public. I do not get an option for Enterprise. Can you please give me some more details on where you are setting Enterprise as a privacy level. Thanks
