Hi - when running a Process Full on an SSAS Tabular Model deployed on Azure Analysis Services, I receive the following error message:
Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: '{"error": {"code": "SSAS_ShortMessage_ProcessingError","pbi.error": {"code": "SSAS_ShortMessage_ProcessingError","parameters": {},"details": [],"exceptionCulprit": 1}}}
The problem I have is there is truly nothing for me to troubleshoot based on the text of this message. Sometimes I notice that this failure happens only on dimension tables or static reporting tables, where I know the data has not changed since last processing. Other times it happens on all tables. That's about the only clue I have. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Brian

Hello @Brian Nowak ,
Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
The error message wasn't very helpful to determine the actual root cause. Hence, we recommend filing a support ticket for deeper investigation. In case if you don't have a support plan, please let us know here.
Thanks
Hi Kranthi - although the error message did not state this, we were able to resolve the error by changing the credentials in the model to point to a SQL Server role with a defined username and password. No need to file a ticket. Thank you!
Glad to know that your issue has been resolved. Thank you @Brian Nowak for sharing the resolution details here as it could be beneficial to others reading this thread.
Thank you & have a good day!

Hi Brian, I am having the same error when trying to refresh via the rest API using a service principal. Can you elaborate on the steps you took to solve the problem?
Thanks.
Nevermind! Your comment was enough to work it out. The steps are
I hope this helps anyone else with this issue.
Yep, these were the steps we took as well. We were refreshing via a powershell runbook in Azure Automation Accounts but looks like the same applies. Glad you were able to figure it out!
