Refresh failed because of Changed Password

‎05-14-2019 07:07 AM

i have datasource which is a csv file from shared network drive. I added this to a gateway and scheduled refresh. It was refreshing fine.I used my windows credentials for datasource

But I had to change my windows password 2 days back. and the refresh failed becoz of invalid credentials.   

So each time i change password, do i need to update datasource credentials?  is there any other way to avoid this?

@Anonymous you should create some sort of service account which has access to csv file on share environment, and set service account password never expires, and that will do it.
