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.
Now the direct query run well on the desktop version but after shareing can not load the modell on the web.
I have datagateway wich is working but the custom connector do not work.
Has somebody any idea what's wrong?
Thanks.

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.
