Hi there!
I'm trying to refresh a datasource connected to a local text file. Unfortunately I'm getting “Could not find file" error.
I’m sure that file exists and all necessary permissions are granted.
Gateway connection test proves that:
Would you mind advising me how can I resolve the issue?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! In a case of a file source a gateway does not use credentials specified on datasource settings page, but uses its service credential! It’s necessary to grant permissions exactly for service account on a file itself!
