Azure Analysis Services model using another Azure AS model as Data Source
Hi TMJForrester
The reason you need the gateway is because you are not connecting via a LiveConnection to the other AAS database, but rather importing data.
Because you are importing you will need a gateway to create the connection to import the data.You would only NOT require the gateway when you are doing a LiveConnection.

Thanks for the reply. Is this just a feature with the Analysis Services connector, or is this standard whenever you import any data from the cloud into the model? I've built models in the past where I've imported data from Azure Blob Storage, for example, and I didn't need a gateway in those situations.
Yeah in this instance it is because it is imported from AAS it is considered an on-prem source currently.
