PowerBI Gateway issue

rsye — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 01:00:42 GMT

looking for some technical help with PowerBi Gateways, probably need 1 hour.

I have dozens of pbi apps that we conencted to a server running sql express.

i moved to a new virtual server with a full version of sql

i have pointed all the apps to the new server, in the data source settings, and can see the data just fine

i can save the app, and publish it

but when i try to open the app thru the app.powerbi.com, i get this error

there is no gateway to access the data source <dbname>

im close with getting this resolved, just need a gateway expert to help out.

once done, looking to build a technical contact with that person/company for other work down the road..

thanks

Roy

Did you allocate VMs to run your Enterprise Gateway on? (Recommend to have at least two, for business continuity).

Hi rsye ,

Please refer to the following steps to troubleshoot and resolve the gateway issue:

1. Check Gateway Installation and Service:
- Ensure that the Power BI Gateway is installed on the new virtual server where your full version of SQL is running.
- Verify that the gateway service is running on the server.

2. Update Data Source Settings in Gateway:

3. Map Users to Data Sources:
- Ensure that the users who need to access the apps are mapped correctly to the data source under the gateway's permissions.

4. Test Connection:
- After updating the data source, test the connection to make sure it is successful.

5. Refresh Dataset in Power BI Service:
- Navigate to the Datasets section in the Power BI Service.
- Find the datasets for your apps and attempt a manual refresh.
- Ensure that the refresh is using the updated gateway and data source.

6. Re-publish Reports:
- If necessary, re-publish your Power BI reports from Power BI Desktop to the Power BI Service after updating the data source settings.
