Cannot edit gateway datasource connection

Hi,

A few weeks ago I installed the 'On-premises data gateway' on my database server and created a database connection to my MariaDB database inside PowerBI service. The connection works fine on several datasets.
Now I want to change the connections type and datasource path. But unfortunately it is greyed out even if I am the owner of this connection.

 

Why I can neither change connection type nor datasource path please?

    Hi Anonymous ,

    That is correct, you colud not change the connection type and data source path after you create data source.

    You could only change data source name, authentication type etc.

    If you want to change connection type and datasource path, you need to create a new data source in this Data Gateway.

    For more details, you can read related document: Manage data sources (preview) - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn
