2 gateways for one user
Why not just use the enterprise gateway and put the files or data in a place that can be reached by the enterprise gateway? You really should only need one gateway. The gateway is to bridge between on premise and Azure. ONce you have the bridge, you shouldn't need to bridge anywhere else. You shouldn't store your data locally if you want to share it with anyone else. It should be put in another non laptop location.
Anonymous no, for Python- and R scripts the Power BI team says that you need to use the personal gateway. The reason is that it needs to be on the same laptop as you made your scripts (with all libraries and programs). Not a good solution I think, but let's hope this will change.
Thanks TeigeGao , I can now connect to both the on-premise and personal gateway. I still have the the gateway will turn off when I shut down my computer though.
