On-Premise Gateway Issues
- 8 years ago
Looks like we got this sorted. We'd followed some instructional videos on YouTube but they don't make the process clear.
We had created the Gateway and Data Source. What was not apparent is that this would not create the dataset. We expected from what had been demonstrated in the videos that it would.
Instead the report creator needs to open Power BI Desktop and connect (on-site or remotely using VPN) to the SQL server. They then create the report. When done they publish it to the Power BI service online. When this is done the report is available via the Power BI service online. The dataset is also created. It is important to alter the dataset at this point to select the gateway that is used to refresh it. Once we had done this we not only had the dataset but we were able to refresh the data.
Thanks all for your input.
Thanks for the reply.
I have already tried this HTTPS mode and also had double checked with my Infra team and there is no blockage from our network firewall. Iam surprised to see this happening even in my personal laptop, which does not connect to any network except internet.
Possibly anti virus or something similar that is stopping the ports from being accessed?
