Hello Team,
I’m building a pipeline to read data from SQL using an on-premises data gateway. The Connection tests fine, and the pipeline Preview data returns results. However, when I run the Pipeline, the copy data function fails with 6501 - The activity was running on gateway, but some cloud connections are incompatible with it. To ensure compatibility, please enable the option "Allow this connection to be used with gateways."
I’m unable to see this option on the connection settings.
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @Neema_Jose
There is an existing thread for this. Can you check if this helps?
There is actually a setting under Admin Portal Settings for Gateway which you need to enable.
Select the Data Gateway and go to it's Settings and enable the setting highlighted.
