I configured the Performance Point Service in the SharePoint 2013 environment. I created a Business Intelligence site and was trying to create a dashboard using the Dashboard Designer.
But while trying to connect to the SharePoint list data source, I got the following error:
Solution
1. Make sure that the credential is set to Secure Store Target Application. Navigate to the Central Administration. Click on the Application Management. Click on the Manage Service Applications. Click on the Secure Store Service Application. Select the application ID and from the ECB menu click on the Set Credentials. Enter the Credential Owner, Windows User Name and the Windows Password.
2. Make sure that in the Dashboard Designer “Use a stored account” is selected in the “Authentication” and the proper application ID is mentioned.
