schedule refresh lost credentials
Hi Anonymous
From my experience this is if you save your Power BI Desktop into the Power BI Service, it will overwrite the current credentials. Which will mean that you will need to edit the credentials again.
AnonymousSRLyman Can you change it to use OAuth2 and enter the credetial for the dataset again? Please check if schedule refresh is successfull after you set the credential.

GilbertQ, that is interesting.
You mean, whenever I publish the PBI Desktop to the PBIService the credentials need updating?
I could understand (sort of) why would it trigger such behaviour.
But in my case, the credentials got lost without me publishing it.
whenever I publish the report to the PBI Service, you mean?
Still experiencing this problem where PBIRS scheduled refresh loses credentials when the report is edited and saved back to the server. With dozens of data sources this is a PITA, because the credentials for all of them have to be manually re-entered (or copy/pasted) into the PBIRS data sources settings (on the server) to re-enable scheduled refresh. Using the March 2018 versions. When will this be fixed?
- Hi there,
I would suggest updating both power bi desktop and gateway to the June 2018 version. There has been improvements and bug fixes in the past 3 months
