DataSource.Error: OLE DB: Errors in the OLE DB provider #17

Closed VJk17 closed 2 years ago

VJk17 commented 3 years ago

I'm getting below error DataSource.Error: OLE DB: Errors in the OLE DB provider. The data source or location is not valid. Provide a valid server to which to connect

Do I need to pass the "%server%\" & "%database%\" value in .ps1 script ? can't find server and DB details. Could you please share what values we need to pass in ?

Hi @VJk17

The server and database should be passed automatically to the tool. This error points most likely to a live connected model. Is your report connected to an Analysis Services dataset or a dataset published in the Power BI Service?

This is a known limitation. Please be aware that the dataset must be loaded into memory (pbix) of the PC before it can load the model documentation.
