Hi @tameemyousaf ,

 

I saw in the blog you shared, the way to connect to the data source is through SQL SERVER. You may try to install the gateway on the machine you are operating and add the data source by selecting SQL SERVER in the gateway as follows.

Hi @Fowmy

 

Thanks for the response. The issue is I am not using on-Prim database so why and on which machine I need to install the gateway?
