PowerBI Recognizes mySQL as Cloud-based

Until recently, I was able to access MySQL data via a personal on-premises data gateway without any issues. However, a few days ago, it suddenly started being recognized as cloud-based, leading to authentication failures that have left me at a loss. Interestingly, I can still update data without any problems on Power BI Desktop. This sudden shift and the discrepancy between the Desktop and cloud experiences have me puzzled, and I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights.

I am also experiencing the same issue. Apparently, it started a few days ago. The data sources connected to MySQL are no longer recognized by the Personal Gateway, When I try to enter the username and password, I receive an error notification: "An error happened while reading data from the provider: ‘One or more errors occurred.’"
The MySQL data sources have all started to be considered as cloud-based, but this was not the case, in fact, it has never been like this. I also have several reports stopped and still without a solution.

Hi waraujo - I'm experiencing the exact same issue.

 

Please let us know if were able to resolved the issue or do you perhaps have more information to assist me with troubleshooting?

Thank you in advance

Hi Fadiel,

 

It seems we’re facing a very confusing problem. Apparently, there was a change made by the developers, and this change negatively affected the community, as we can see on the forum where several users use the Personal Gateway for updating their reports.

We’re all hoping and trusting that the development team can restore the functionality to how it was before for the personal gateway, I’m also waiting for an update.

It’s important to note that for the personal gateway, MySQL databases shouldn’t work until the change is reverted.
If anyone else has information, please post it here. Let’s make sure this post reaches the Microsoft team so that the negative impact caused by the change in the community can be evaluated.

When republishing the existing dashboards, the paths of the MySQL databases are changing to the cloud. This has caused the automatic updates using the personal gateway to stop. I reiterate that this was not happening in March; apparently, there was some update applied either to the gateway or to the Power BI Service environment. Please investigate urgently, as it is affecting published dashboards.
The database is Local
