Using SSMS to refresh PBI tabular model in portal

Hi!

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

I have a workspace in premium capasity. I used SSMS to connect to tabular model. When I try to process either any database or table within a database I get this error message. My desktop version is July 2020 and preview feature for enhanced dataset metadata, which is as I understand the V3 mentioned in error message below.

 

 

 

Could the problem be following: I have earlier created the report. Now I returned to switch on the new preview feature. So the query in guestion is now updated? Should I first enable the preview and then create a query from scratch?

    Hi GoingIncognito ,

     

    Glad you found the solution.

     

    To be additional, Power BI returns the following error if you perform a refresh via the XMLA endpoint against a model without enhanced metadata.

    For details, you can refer to the following document.

      Thank you. One, hopefully last question:

       

      When default compatibility level is, but at the same time a singular database level within it is as low as 1465

      What should be updated? SSDT? PBI desktop? I thought July edition supported enhanced metadata format?

       

       

      And enhanced metadata format is set ON as preview feature:
