Hello,

 

The errors is as follows:

Also, the personal gateway is working for other sources ( like files saved locally).

I have the same issue.

Fine to connect to network drives & SQL, but Power BI will not accept credentials for BW.

 

Failed to update data source credentials: The credentials provided for the SapBusinessWarehouse source are invalid. (Source at cibw3/85/100.)

 

However the credentials are correct, and work for Power BI desktop.
