Move Personal Gateway

I have set up and run a personal gateway on my local PC and it all works fine - except that reports are obviously not refreshing when the PC is off.

 

Can I move the personal gateway to a server so that I do not have this issue or do I need to create a new gateway (or do something else)..?

  • HI andrewhann

     

    Yes you can move the gateway and I recommend you do for the very reason you mention.  All you need to do is download and install the gateway on your "always on" machine and follow the install prompts.  Power BI Service will see and use this gateway, especially if you then uninstall the gateway from your local PC,

     

    You won't need to change or republish your existing dashboards/reports.
