Hi Community,

 

I have an Informix database and i wanna use direct query mode with this.

Basically this is not avaliable but i found a solve.

This solve is custom connector in a third hand party.

Hi @dlmsbi 

You need add your custom connector file in the C:\Gateway\Custom Connectors folder. Please try this is not helps then you can raise a support ticket to Power BI team.
