Cannot see my gateway from Get Data
I agree that the expected behavior is that you should be able to connect to the gateway from power BI online and create a dataset. If that is not the case, this should of cause be clarified in the guide. Nowhere it says that "Now the next step is to use/consume your gateway data source. This must be performed using Power BI Desktop, so install that and..."
Power BI Desktop is your development tool. As you are using it from your computer, it will have all of the properties of being inside your network. Your gateway isn't relevant when you use your Power BI Desktop. Once you publish into the cloud, your Power BI lives within Microsoft and not your network. The gateway is required to create that secured connection from the cloud into your network.
I created a pbix locally then published it and when setting it to auto-refresh the data I had to install the data-gatweay (personal mode) which was fine for POC but now that I want this in production how can I find my organizations on-premise data gateway that's been setup? When I go to "Manage Gateways" from the settings menu in Power BI on the web I just get the screen that says: "You don't have any data gateways." How would I go about getting the one we have here to show up on this screen?
Hi mgiusto , That answer will need to come from your internal infrastructure team in your organisation. Someone inside your organisation will have needed to install this onto a Server. Whoever has been set up as the adminstrator of that gateway will need to give you access.
Ah, this is exactly what I was trying to find too..
