Is there any known issues in upgrading from SQL Server 2016 to 2019? Can it be done by a SQL novice or do you need to have more knowledge to perform the upgrade?

Hi Tech Community, I'm relatively new to PWA and creating reports in Power BI I have created a couple of custom reports with Power BI, using the OData source and I'm now looking to build a report based on Timesheet data and monthly activity for different resources. I'm just wondering if any Power BI templates have already been made available for this purpose? I downloaded and installed the Project Web App Power BI reporting extension but that didn't seem to include any Timesheet Specific ones. I note that there are a bunch of Tables in the OData specifically pertaining to the Time Sheets, so I’m currently investigating that 😊 one challenge is that my PWA environment is in French and so all my table names are in French and differ greatly in nomenclature to the English references sited in the forums. Thanks in advance for any insight and comments,Solved7.7KViews0likes2CommentsOpen reportserver webservice URL with https leads to an ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
We have installed on a Windows Server 2022 the latest version of PowerBI Reporting Server. We have bound a wild card certificate to the PBRS webservice and PBRS portal site. We have also added the FQDN cname to the PBRS reportingserver config file. We have used to deploy any reports by URL's like https://reports.contoso.com/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/Invoice/InvoiceReport. Opening with Microsoft Edge we get the error: Hmmm… can't reach this page It looks like the webpage at https://reports.contoso.com/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/Invoice/InvoiceReport might be having issues or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR On the other hand when opening the URL https://reports.contoso.com/Reports/Invoice/InvoiceReport we will be asked to login with the user credentials. Afterwards calling the webservice runs fine. Does anybody had already the same error and how we can avoid it?6.8KViews3likes11Comments
