Scheduled refresh throws error when triggered

The following error is encountered when refresh is triggered.

Screenshot_47.png

 

Data source: SQL Server
The gateway is configured successfully on server.
Data source added successfully in gateway cluster (test connection successful). The server and DB name are same as used in report.
Scheduled refresh successfully.
But the above error is encountered when refresh is triggered (manually/scheduled).

Please suggest workarounds if any.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

You need to map your Power BI Service & Gateway login with the login of Windows user of the computer where Gateway installed.

In this post, I've explained how to do that - http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Gateway-connected-but-can-not-access-SSAS-tabular-The-name/m-p/339954#M15143

Hi @Anonymous,

 

From the error details, it shows the error is invalid connection credentials.

 

Have you refreshed successfully before?

 

Could you create a screenshot to show me if your gateway and the data source have configured well?

Go to Power BI service ——Settings——Manage Gateways

Hi Dale @v-jiascu-msft,

 

The refresh has not happened successfully for this data source/gateway before. It always throws the error- Invalid connection credentials.

Please refer the screenshot below which shows successful connection of gateway with datasource-1.png

Regards,

Suguna.
