Issues with multiple gateways

Hi

I have 3 sources connected to the PBI file.

Each one of them is on a different server and there is a gateway on each one of them.

The gateways are online as so are the data sources.

However, in the settings of the dataset, I get an error trying to connect to the 3 of them.

Why do I get 3 different screens for a connection?

 

Any help would be appreciated ,

Thank you

Tamir

    Currently all data sources need to go through a single gateway. 

     

    Unfortunately what you are trying to do today is not possible. You need to have them all configured in one gateway.

      Hi,

       

      I am having exactly the same problem.

      2 SQL Servers on the same network. I've put a gateway on both servers.

       

      Any PBI report that has data from ONE Server, I can publish, point it at the right gateway/connection and it's all good - I can do scheduled refreshes.

       

      However, if I create a report using data from both servers and I publish it, I can't point the datasources to the right gateway/connection. Well, I can but it won't let me appy it.

       

      The answer above says that all data sources need to go through a single gateway.

       

      I'm nearly certain a lot of people use PBI to bring data from mutiple sources and they need to do scheduled refreshes.

       

      Could someone point me to how you can set up a single gateway on one of the servers and access the other server through it please.

       

      Thanks!
