Gateway

Hi All,

Can anyone please let me know, that below option is disabled at my end. How do I get this option visible to get the on premise data gateway. My issue is, I set the personal gateway, but it isnt working for auto-refresh when my machine is log off..

Hence I'm looking for this gateway.. If possible please provide solution.. Thank You..!!

Use an On-premises or VNet data gateway
On

 

  • Hi PowerBiBeginer. The personal gateway is an app that won't be open if the computer is logged off. The recommended gateway is the Standard Mode because it's a Windows Service that will be on the moment you turn on the machine. Another recommendation is using a VM that is turned on 24 hours a day so you can refresh anytime you want. I would recommend installing the Gateway in standard mode in a computer or VM that is turned on 24 hours a day or at least the time you want to refresh.

    I hope that helps,
