Enterprise gateway custom connector not available

I just installed the Oct release of the enterprise gateway to enable the custom connectors but this seems to be not possible for my install to enable the custom connector.

 

Any chance someone has the same issue? This is a perfectly working gateway for the rest. on a Windows 2012 R2 server.

Hi @kvbe,

 

As rafaelmpsantos said, the feature for Enterprise gateway custom connector is GA.

 

By my tests, I could have the custom connector option for the Enterprise gateway ( version October 2018).

Please check your version of Enterprise gateway. 

 

In addition, you could uninstall the gateway and reinstall it.

I think that now custom connectors are fully avaliable without any configurations. 

See that. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/pt-br/blog/announcing-general-availability-of-custom-and-certified-con...

Not sure about that as if a SAAS vendor does not want to create a custom connector, I was under the impression that you still can create your own connector and use refresh using the power bi service and enterprise gateway? 

 

Would someone be able to confirm if this is just a bug that this does not show up. (maybe a security or internet explorer settting?) or if this functionality is indeed gone from the enterprise gateway?

 

Thanks!

Dear Cherry,

 

Thanks for the confirmation.

As you indicated, after a remove and reinstall it showed up in the config utility!

 

Thanks for the help!
