Hi Guys,
I'm trying to use the new Copy Job (preview) in Data Factory for Microsoft Fabric, but I have a question about that. Does Copy Job support SQL Server on-premise as the source and Fabric Data Warehouse as the destination? What are the steps to do that?
Thanks,
Cesar

I know this is marked as SOLVED but I have an issue similar.
I tried setting up a new Copy Job (preview) using an on-premise SQL Server as the source, and a new Fabric SQL Database as the sink. When I went to make the Source connection, it would NOT let me use the Personal Mode Gateway that I JUST set up. The list of gateways available showed "(none)". The SQL Server is loaded on my laptop, running SQL Developer 2019.
Also, if I go into Manage Connections and Gateways, if I try to set up a NEW Conneciton, it does not let me use the gateway.
