Datasources are not shown in desktop
- 8 years ago
Hi deepu299,
Once the gateway and datasources are configured in the service, which will are used to refresh data. In desktop, you should click "Get Date"->Database->Oracle Database->Type the authentication, there is no data returned there? Could you please post a screenshot to display the issue?

Hi Angelia,
I am able to get the data from desktop. My thought was that the gateway configured datasources will show up in the desktop as well when an user logs in. This was any user who like to import tables need to know database authentication credentials. Looks like this is not the case, and an user need to provide the authentication while importing new tables.

Hi deepu299,
The gateway configured datasources is in Power BI service and not in Power BI desktop. You can click file->Options and setting->Datasource settings as follows, You will see all the datasource you used. When you import table, you input the authentication, you just click Recent Sources-> choose the datasouce on Home page when you want to import another table next time.
