Gateway - MS SQL Server ( On-Premises )
Hi! PremK
The best practice is to have your GW on a virtual machine so it keeps on running, having it on your machine means, it stops working once you log off and this will lead to failure in data refreshes.
you mean to say i need to install GW in the VM were the MS SQL Server is insatlled, right ?
No, pls don't do it this way!
Use one stand-alone VM, only for your GW client.
This VM (with your GW) should then has FW-rule to be able to connect to your SQL Server.
Pls don't use GW on the same VM where SQL Server is stored.
RegardsCan you pls give some more details about this.
what is FW-rule and what do you mention as standalone Virtual Machine, and even if i setup this separate VM, how it could connect with SQL Server and PBI.
Can you explain these pls.
Hi! PremK
Once you have a separate VM you have to open the ports and make sure IP of both VMs can interact with one another, for detailed setup you might have to go through the documentation.
