Hello All I am fairly new to PowerBI ,we are trying to connect our onprem Impala CDH vai a gateway in the PowerBI service but we are always getting the message
This data source cant be accessed by a data gateway :Server:Imapla;Database:Extension
We have used the IP address for the Connection in powerBI desktop and are creating the Source under our gateway with the
same IP address .
The gateway as such works for other datasources like SQL . Its just that with Impala it does not work.. please help as we are stuck
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks v-yuezhe-msft .. I was able to get the report working after I installed the Latest Gateway I did the following
In Power BI Desktop
Under Options and Settings >> Datasource Settings
I did Clear Permissions at lobal level and then republished the report
The Name in the Data source was kept as the IP
In server Name I put IP:21050
and it started working ..
Thanks v-yuezhe-msft ..
@hmpatel9,
Do you use the latest version of Power BI gateway? When I try to add a impala data source within gateway, I have the following screenshot.
In your scenario, you would need to make sure that the connection string used in Power BI Desktop is same as that you used in gateway. In your Power BI Desktop, there is no port(21050) in the server name, thus, when you add data source within gateway, you should remove port from server name. In addition, ensure that you use same Authentication method for impala data source in Power BI Desktop and gateway.
Regards,
Lydia
