Hi All,

i have installed "Power BI Report Server August 2017 public preview"

which allows me to upload normal power bi report with data sources.
i uploaded one report with with web portal url provided by  power bi server.
this report is visible using web portal and working fine on web portal url.
but when i tried it using web service url it is giving me error as shown above.

Well, this is just as expected.

The Power BI reports are accessible only via the portal, not the SSRS web service.

Hi ,
Can you explain me difference berween
web service url and web portal url
i need following explaination
1. what is use of each url
2. when to use

@roshramkar the webservice needs to be running to run the portal engine so to speak however you should never need to access it it directly, all your reports get accessed via the webportal

So, I am an IT Developer creating reports for my users, what url should I use to share reports to my end-users?

Reports or ReportServer?

That's a good question, we have a custom "Report Organizer" we use to present our reports and our users don't use the portal at all. Everything we link them to is via /ReportServer right now and until now we had no reason to assume our users would be hitting the main portal page. Thanks for bringing this up, going to have to shift things around a bit if we can't link direct through /ReportServer.
