Hi Experts 

We are getting some strange errors when trying to connect from the Power BI Desktop to SAP Business Warehouse. Does anyone know what ports and protocall that are used during this communication?  

Kind regards

Hi Xiaoxin

The links provided do not state what network ports that PowerBI use to connect to the SAP BW system. We are able o connect using SAP GUI so I guess PowerBI use some other ports that are blocked. It would be good to know what ports that PowerBI use so we can ask our network team to open these ports. 

Kind regards

Hi @erikfosser,

I'm also not so sure which ports power bi will use, perhaps you can take a look at below article:
