It's look like different details in Service and Desktop.
Note:- Use same details in all layers (Power BI Desktop, Service, Gateway).
Please try to re-pro the issue with the correct details and let us know if you have any concerns.

Thank you everyone for their help. I got so many inputs from you guys. Actually, the problem is with the port number. You can connect with the default port number 446. Make sure you use Microsoft Driver with 4.5 version or higher(I checked mine through CMD; and it is 4.8). The IBM driver will not work(For me, anyways it didn't work) as it will show a licensing problem. Mix storage mode(i.e both Import and DirectQuery) will work fine. Most importantly, update Power BI desktop. I don't know, but I updated and it worked.Take a look at the screenshots below:-
Thanks and Regards

Can you help me with the Get data IBM DB2 connection as well? I mean get data-> IBM DB2 Database-> Direct Query option. This is not connecting as well.
Or, the connection setting to DB2 only works through Gateway.
Thanking You,
Thanks & Regards
