Microsoft Employee[Personal Gateway Upgrade required] The On-premises data gateway (personal mode) is now available
Advocate IIHi - we installed this update as we have a few data models that use data sources not yet supported by the Data Gateway Enterprise mode.
Unfortunately, we had to uninstall the update as it does not support all the data sources that the existing Personal Gateway supports.
Specifically, we are refreshing Active Directory Data. I recognize (now! :)) that that lack of AD support (along with others) is detailed in the linked documentation under Limitations and considerations, but considering that data refresh via the existing personal gateway will stop working in 7 weeks, I am surprised at the lack of feature parity. I see OLEDB, ODBC, Spark and R being developed, but no AD mention.
dimazaid, while I applaud unifying and simplifying, we are going to have a problem if 2017-07-31 rolls around and On-premises data gateway (personal mode) is not at feature parity for supported connections with the existing Personal Gateway.
Advocate IIHi dimazaid,
Any chance we'll get feature parity and have Active Directory support via either Data Gateway? We are very dismayed right now that features that have worked since July 2015 are being removed and breaking all the Intelligence and work we have done. See my related posts about the new 10 GB Uncompressed Data limit imposed on the Data Gateway Refreshes that magically appeared without warning on June 1, 2017.
We have 125 Power BI Pro Licenses. We have now stopped buying them because my confidence has been eroded around what other limitations and restrictions will magically appear. It is clear that we are being funnelled to the Power BI Premium which represents a MASSIVE increase in cost for a company with 230 IT Users. I would feel better about it if I could actually determine if a P1 Node would solve my problem, but there is not test, no trial, no tools to evaluate, etc... Just a web site with a slider and a whitepaper.
Sigh.
