Referenced tables do not update after changing the data source!

Hello!

 

What I want to do ?

 

Change data source and resynchronize my dataset with the new data source.

 

What I have done :

 

I had a dashbord in power service (premium per user) which worked with data source 1 (postgres), a migration was made to a more recent postgres and I therefore had to change the data source to data source 2 (postgres ).

 

My dataset contains tables that come directly from data source A and B and other tables that I created myself

A1 which is a reference of A and B2 which is a reference of B. All the tables are configured with the incremental refresh and everything worked well.

 

First I changed the data source in power bi desktop then I used ALM toolkit to update my dataset in Power BI service.

 

My problem after changing to data source 2:

 

Tables A and B update without problem but A2 and B2 do not update, I get this error via SSMS :

 

 

 

Erreur de source de données: Information is needed in order to combine data;Information about a data source is required.. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface.

Heure: 2022-12-02 01:46:09Z

 

Any idea of the source of the problem please? Why these referenced tables do not update.

Hi djurecicK2,

 

Thanks a lot.

 

But I'm looking for a solution without re overwriting the report that there is in Power BI service.
