DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_TimeoutError

Hi,

I am using PowerBI premium service. I have set data load timeout as 5 hrs.

 

We are trying to upload a PowerBI desktop file to server. But due to large data in the datasource we are facing timeout error (set to 5 hrs). We are thinking of dividing the data present in the PowerBI desktop file into 5 segments and upload these segments parallely into the PowerBI server and then append these data sources to create it as one datasource in the server. If anyone has worked on this before, please help.

 

Also if anyone has any work around for this problem feel free to give suggestions.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please consider about dataflow.

dataflow is a collection of tables that are created and managed in workspaces in the Power BI service. A table is a set of columns that are used to store data, much like a table within a database. You can add and edit tables in your dataflow, as well as manage data refresh schedules, directly from the workspace in which your dataflow was created.

 

For more details, please refer to:
