Refresh not working with Custom connecor
Hello Everyone,
I have a CustomConnector, which has POST Query in it. I would like to refresh the Report which uses the CustomConnector.
In Power BI Service, it says there is no support for this DataSource. Below is the Screenshot.
Even I have read in forum that Customconnector refresh works only in Power BI Desktop, but not in Power BI Service. Even now there is no support for the refresh of CustomConnector in Power BI Service.
Is it possible to achieve?

Hi Anonymous
You have to:
1. Setup test connection in your custom connector. Something like this:
2. Install a gateway
3. Setup Gateway on Service (powerbi.com)
4. Go to dataset settings and select this gateway to refresh

Hi ranbeermakin ,
Thanks for your reply. I have added the TestConnection in the custom connector code, but still it shows the same error.
I have also tried the RelativePath in WebContents(), but no luck:(
One thing which I found instresting is in Refresh History is attached below:
But this message is also shown.
***I have noticed that there is no 'GateWay Connection' Shown for this DataSet. Why?
Is there any other workaround?

You need to first setup a gateway. Once that is done, go to app.powerbi.com, under settings icon, click on Manage Gateway, add this source in your gateway and select allow user's custom data connectors to refresh through this gateway.
