Hi Syed. Understand this part. When I try this it's always error 411. And Also how are we going to update the details of the subscription if the Request Body required is only Id?

Thanks

Hi Jet Hernandez,

Thank you for your patience.

Error 411 in Power BI typically refers to an issue with authentication. It's usually encountered when trying to access a resource or perform an action for which the user doesn't have the necessary permissions or credentials.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the error:

Data Source Permissions: Verify that the account you're using to access the data source has the required permissions. This includes both the user account within Power BI and any permissions required on the data source itself (e.g., in a database or cloud service).

Data Source Configuration: Double-check the configuration of your data source connection in Power BI. Make sure all settings are correct, including URLs, ports, and any additional parameters.

Refresh Settings: If you're encountering the error during data refresh, review the refresh settings for your dataset in Power BI. Ensure that the refresh schedule is set up correctly and that any required authentication methods are configured properly.

Power BI Service Issues: Sometimes, the error may be caused by issues with the Power BI service itself. Check the Power BI Service status page or community forums to see if there are any ongoing issues affecting authentication or data access.

Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Power BI support for further assistance. Provide as much detail as possible about the error message and the steps you've taken to troubleshoot it. If you are still facing any issue, please let us know in the comments.

Hi @Syed Saleem Peera . This is noted. But just want to ask still about the documentation of the link that I've sent? Because it was an update process how are we going to update the fields that we wanted to update if the details needed on the endpoint is only the Id?

Thanks and Appreciate it.

Hi @Syed Saleem Peera . I understand this. The thing that I wanted to ask about the documentation is because this is an update process how do we know what are the fields we can update if only the ID is the detail that we need to provide?

Thanks in advance

Hi Jet Hernandez,

Thank you for your patience.

For subscription-related matters, administrative issues should be directed to the administrative team, while technical issues should be routed to the IT support team.

Hello, there is not enough information on how to get the key (GUID). Where does this come from in our reports?
