Clarity over Requirements for Refreshing Local Files
When you publish your report, its going to live in Office 365. This will be outside your network. For that reason it will have no access to the network drive. This is the job of the gateway, to provide that secure access without creating a security hole.
Thanks Anonymous,, but I was more trying to understand how I can set this up appropriately to skip the requirement of needing my computer on.
I'm working with my IT department tomorrow to test putting a gateway on a server which is active 24/7 so hopefully that will do the trick.
Whereever the source data lives will need to be on a machine that is online at the time of the refresh. Computers that are off are unable to provide data access.
Simpliest solution is to make sure the data lives on a server rather than a workstation.
