Hai all,
Whenever i was trying to view my reports i am getting this error saying that "Unable to connect: The gateway is either offline or couldn't be reached". I already installed the gateway in my machine. Anyone can help me with this issue?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
My pleasure. It seems that you need to restart the gateway.
1. Input "services.msc" in the search box. (or use Win + r in keyboard)
2. Restart the service as showed in the picture or start it if it stopped.
3. If step 1 and 2 failed, restart the computer and then check the status of the service.
4. There is an official trouble shooting document, you can reference: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-gateway-onprem-tshoot/
5. Last try: uninstall gateway -> restart computer -> install the newest version. (Please consider the down time if it's a production machine.)
After all, upgrading to the latest version is recommended.
Best Regards!
