XMLA endpoint - error when processing a model - Lists of BinaryXml value tokens not supported.

I would like to know what this error message means and how to fix it.

Do we have any update for this error? We are getting the same error, but it happened when we did "defragement" on one of the tables in the PBI dataset. 

The error shows up, but the query continues running. 

This is the code we used:

{

"refresh": {

"type": "defragment",

"objects": [

{

"database": "DatabaseName",

"table": "TableName"

}

]

}

}

This is what we are using -

{
  "refresh": {
    "type": "full",
    "objects": [
      {
        "database": "<<semantic model name>>",
        "table": "<<table name>>"
      }
    ]
  }
}

 

looks good.  Did you set your xmla endpoint to read/write ?

oh yes!! we have been doing this for long time and now suddenly we are seeing this.

Interestingly, in some cases processing still works even after we get this error, but not always.

What does this error mean?

no idea.  Since you have a Pro license you can open a Pro ticket at https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/newsupportticket/powerbi

Sure, will do that. Thanks 

is there any new information on this problem?

Found this as we are getting the same 🙂 It displays the error in the 'Messages' Window, but continues to process the table/partition. Did you get an answer or a resolution? Thanks!
