3 TopicsRefreshed Data Sets not staying Refreshed
I upgraded to the October PBI Report Server earlier this week. We have recognized that PBI reports with embedded models do now refresh on a schedule (wahoo! yay!); however, the report seems to revert back to the as-first-uploaded version of the data some time after the scheduled refresh. After some research and testing, I think the problem may be that the updated data set is being evicted from memory per the ModelExpirationMinutes setting on the PBI RS (setting accessible through SSMS). The desired behavior is that the PBI report adopt the refreshed data set FOREVER, not just for the 60 minutes in the ModelExpirationMinutes. So, can I set the ModelExpirationMinutes to zero so that the refreshed data sets never disappear? Or, any other advice for me? It's counter-intuitive for the users to have their data set go backward in time if the scheduled refresh stops or if the refresh interval exceeds the ModelExpirationMinutes.Solved9KViews0likes16CommentsOctober PowerBI Desktop (RS Version) fails to start
I tried to upgrade my instance of PowerBI Desktop when we upgraded to the October RS GA release. Unfortunately, the application fails to start. I was able to run the June and August releases without issue but for some reason the October one fails. When I try to start PowerBI the yellow and black loading screen pops up followed by a command window. The command window briefly flashes with an exception code. (See screenshot below) Following the error, I get a message saying it can't connect to the model. This is running on a 32bit Win 7 machine. Initially, I just tried to upgrade my August version to the October version. Then I uninstalled everything, rebooted and tried a fresh install. Both wound up at the same spot. My co-workers that are running a 64bit Win7 system had no problem upgrading and starting the desktop app. Any help/tips/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.2.1KViews0likes3CommentsOctober GA bug - New martix chart does not render in certain browsers as well as the iPad App
