I am the user trying to access the Gateway.

The situation is the following:

We need to run multiple refreshes during a day on our datasets for our reports.

Various people in the organisation have access o these Reports to run a refresh.

Currently the data is being refreshed via a "Personal Gateway".

This is an issue when my PC is offline or when I am out on a business trip and not connected to our intranet.

 

I would like to have multiple accounts be able to refresh the said dataset via the "On Site Gateway".

Hey STGMD,

 

Did Anonymous  add your data source to the gateway with credentials then add you as a user? If so what happens when you go to your data source on the service then to the Gateways. Do you see the gateway?

      Hey Anonymous , 

       

      STGMD will need to provide you with the data source that he is using for his reporting. It'll need to be setup the same way for the gateway. If it's a database connection you may want to make sure you get credentials that have access to all tables so that if someone in the future needs access then they will be able to access the same tables. Once the connection is created you'll then have to add STGMD  and any other user as a user of the data source on the Gateway.
