Issue with power bi report server august update.

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

Recently(in May 2018) we moved to the SQL Server enterprise edition 2016.

We have successfully established our production environment with power bi report server march 2018 update.

As on 16 august, we have a new august updated report server, so i downloaded and upgraded from march 2018 powerbi report server desktop to august 2018 powerbi report server desktop.

But while i am trying to save the reports on to server, it giving me error as cant save the report. Tryied multiple times but still no luck.

Then i checked from our portal website and tried to download the powerbi report server desktop version then it has showed me the previous version only i.e march 2018 version.

I donwloaded and again reinstalled the march version, then i am able to save my reports onto the server.

can any one please clarify me that, is it with SQL Server ENT 2016 version or for every new update, i have to update the report server also alon with report server desktop.??

Please help.

Looks like the fwd link is not updated yet, we'll get it taken care of today. In the meantime you can use this link to download the updated August Edition of Desktop for PBIRS.

Can you try it now and let me know if your still seeing this issue?

Can you send me a screen shot of the help about box from your server? Also have you tried clearing your browser cache?

@mgmeyer Issue is resolved by clearing cache and installing report server executable file.

Thanks,

Yes every PBIRS release has a matched PBIRS desktop version to edit and upload new and edited reports onto the Report Server

It is best that you download it through the Report Server downloads page independently from the Report Server drop down list.

It looks like the link from the server URL is still pointing to the March release download.  Not sure how that gets updated though.
