Can´t link datasource to gateway (new gateway experience)

[Angel]

Hi everyone,

I wish someone can help me. I have struggled for days with a problem I don't know how to solve it.

When I am trying to link a datasource with a a gateway that it's working, the apply button is grey and I can't click on it.

Does anyone has the same issue?

Thanks in advance,

Hi @v-luwang-msft ,

Finally, the problem was the PBI desktop version when the report was created. It was too old (December 2019).

To solve this issue, I open the PBI report with a more newer version and publish it. After doing that, everything was ok..

Thanks anyway

Hi @Angel ,

To get it to work, make sure all of your connections are removed from your Gateway (under GATEWAY CLUSTERS). Note there is nothing under your GATEWAY CLUSTERS.

Click the blue box with the link that says 'Add data sources to use the gateway'. Create an initial datasoure but do not call it what you want to call it. For now, just call it 'Garbage' but use actual credentials to access your data source. You want it to say 'Connection Successful' after you apply your settings.

Now go to your dataset and click the schedule refresh button and expand Gateway connection. Click use a data gateway and it will say not configured correctly as the status. Under actions, click the traiangle pointing to the right. Click Add to gateway. Readd the data source, this time with the name you want and the same credentials. Go back to your Gateway connection and it should now be green.

You will want to hit apply to get the data source credentials corrected. You can now remove 'Garbage' by hovering over the data source under GATEWAY CLUSTERS (make sure you hover on the right side of the grey block), click the ellipse that appears and then remove.
