  • Just checked the data flows again in power bi services., there was an issue at gateway setting, that why I faced this issue. Cleared myself now the data base connections are working fine.

     

    able to connect and it works after correcting the gateway settings.

     

    Thanks for your support.

      Good to hear it is working now. I have configured the data gateway and the data flow works perfectly now.

        I'm curious too. We have probelms settign up SQL connections via dataflow that don't occur wiht a desktop connection. I'd like to know if the issue is gateway related, and if so, what the fix might be in that instance. Thanks in advance.

      rajendraongole1 : We are in the same boat. I have set up the gateway. I can connect (with the same SQL-credentials), my colleague (also a Workspace Admin and Gateway-Admin) cannot.

      Thanks in Advance for clarifying the correct settings.

        Hi rajendraongole1 ,

        I can't reproduce this, I can add sql entity to dataflow. Can you please share some detail operation steps to help us clarify your scenario?

      To connect the sql server , from add entity, i have selected sql server DB and furnished the credentials along with the Gateway setting which are already available for scheduling. (User level gateway setting).
