I have been publishing links to my APP based reports on our Intranet using a URL obtained from the menu
Share - Embed Report - Website or portal
as instructed by
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-embed-secure
Note: these pages need updating as the menu link is no longer on the ... menu.
However I now get an error whan accessing the reports from the URL link
Your Power BI session expired
The current Power BI session can no longer be used to communicate with the Power BI service because of a service modification. You must close and re-open your browser to start a new session.
The URL obtained from the above menu item looks like this,
https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx&appId=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx&autoAuth=true&ctid=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx&config=12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234
If I go and get the URL today the &config is different to the one I got when I published my reports last year. This affects all my links. They all show the same value as each other before and the ones I have checked all show the same new &config value now. The reportId and appId are the same as before.
What has happened? Is this a bug in POWER BI service? Have I got to go and chanhge all my links or is there a setting somewhere
Solved! Go to Solution.
it turns out that the &config value is a base64 encoded URL pointing at a cluster URL and Microsoft has changed it
from
{"clusterUrl":"https://wabi-north-europe-redirect.analysis.windows.net/"}
to
{"clusterUrl":"https://wabi-north-europe-g-primary-redirect.analysis.windows.net/"}7
this is very inconvenient as I need to go and change all my links
it looks like the ~config value is optional so I may just leave it out
