data source credendial update error
I am using PostgreSQL database as data source. Many days ago, data rescheduled refresh works normally. Several days ago, I downloaded pbix file in another PC and made some modification, then re-published to workspace. But after then refresh in workspace encountered failure. I updated credential as requested but error alway happened.
So I think maybe I should publish it in the original PC. I retried in the PC on which original pbix file was published. But it seems credential update error remains. I have to delete workspace and recreate once again. Those pbix files are also published once again. But powerBI still thinks credentials are not OK.
Error is:
Failed to update data source credentials: An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions'
Hi Anonymous ,
Please try the following steps:
1. Restart the windows firewall service
2. Reboot the problematic machine
3. Restart the “TCP/IP stack”. Run CMD as administrator, type “netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt” to reset TCP/IP.
4. Try to temporarily disable antivirus.
