Hi
Not able to refresh dataset in service, getting below error.
"Processing error: Information is needed in order to combine data"
I have already tried below:
1. Updated credentials with privacy level - Organizational.
2. Deleted the data set and republished it.
Pls Help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @PKGR ,
Are you using a gateway and if so, are the credential updated there as well?
Also, check the Data Source Credentials in the service to confirm that they are working as well :
If those don't make any difference, what is the full error message?

I found this solution from March 2021 that worked for me - go into your Data Set settings - under Data Source Credentials, click Edit Credentials and ensure that your user credentials and privacy level are the same for each data source. Good luck!
