Error when adding Sharepoint (folder) source to gateway
Hello Mordjane.
Yesterday I had a call with the support team of Microsoft and they helped solving it.
In desktop, we cleared (all three) caches, deleted all credentials and added them again, and finally published to the service using a different name... and it worked.
After all these changes, we were finally able to add Sharepoint to the Gateway without the previous error.
I hope this helps somebody else, and many thanks to the support team for their kindness.
Anonymous you dont need to setup the gateway for sharepoint folder data. sharepoint folders are in the cloud and do not require seperate setup via gatway. instead you need to provide credentials for sharepoint under "data source credentials"
Hi Negi. Thank you for your anwser.
In data source credentials, I can see the following:
It says "The connection to the datasource couldn't be tested. Try the credentials again".
In Sharepoint I have introduced the credentials and it works. The Oracle Database ("Almacen_new") is the one that appears with the exclamation mark and, when I try to edit credentials, keeps infinitely loading):
In other reports that have only Oracle (and not Sharepoint) I do not require to edit credentials here:
(the administrator has granted access, no credentials are required).
However, the root of all of this is my inability to use the gateway unless I select Sharepoint!!! :
As we can see, the button is greyed out.
You mention that Sharepoint does not need gateway (as I thought) but, does this hold true even when there are joins with other sources in the query editor? I am afraid this may be related to privacy issues.
Thank you again,
Alberto.
