Hi Marrafeiro ,

 

How are you connecting to this server ? Only local connection or from another host ?

You are gonna need the address of this server and user/password.

 

Gateway is after that. when you have you report published you need a software to transfer the data from your source to pbi service, the gateway.

    You have to check if you are allowed to connect to this server from a remote host. If yes, just connect by server name/address and user/password.
