    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    I think that you might have to refresh your browser cache??  Maybe.  I would sign out and back in and see if that does anything.  I would also confirm that the userid that was given permissions to access the gateway is the exact same one you are using.  Ifthey are and you still have no luck, perhaps have the IT Manager create the Data Source and add you as a user of the Data Source.

HI Anonymous ,

 

As you probably know, if all of your information is on premise then you will need a gateway.  After you create the gateway, you should have a very few select folks that can edit/manage it directly.  After the gateway, the next step is to create a Data Source that uses the gateway and in that data source you should assign which users can use (not administrate, but use) that data source.  The data source uses the gateway and the gateway is the tunnel to the data.

The message you are receiving is that you do have a data source that is using the gateway.

Hey collinq  thanks for this! 

I was wondering you could help me a little further? 

The gateway is now all up running and is online and I've been assinged to use that gateway and we now need to set up each data source. It is showing up for the IT manager who installed This his view in PB Service below; 

However the gateway is still not showing up for me in the On-Premise Data Gateway tab in manage connections and gateways page. Do you know how to get this to show up for me as well? becuase ovbiously when I go to add a data source it wont let me becuase there no gateway in the drop down as per below..

 

 

Thank you in advance!
