Microsoft EmployeeUpdates to the Web connector
Microsoft EmployeeAs far as I know, this only affects any "screen scraping" you are doing; so if your queries contain "Web.Page", then you will need to follow the advice here. We have plenty of data sources that are accessed via http / web and that's not going to be affected. E.d. OData.Feed, Web.Contents, etc. will all be unaffected.
Advocate IIWhat about Excel files on OneDrive "Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents)"?
I have an open support ticket on a project with this type of connection and the supporter keeps insisting that it is a Gateway related error although the solution only contains online sources.
Frustration!!
You are making it very hard for us to sell and implement Power BI when it is this unstable and your Gateway fix is unacceptable. You need to stabilize this product, bridge the gaps and make it Enterprise ready. The IT departments don’t like Gateways and it doesn’t make sense to add a gateway for an online source!
You had a god thing going, but the last month or so with extremely unstable service has damaged Power BI and this “feature cut” has only made it worse. Please consider that we have solutions running in production.
jeppesal is right.
If there are connection only to cloud / online services - it doesn't make any sense to install a Gateway.
Guys, common, you can do better - please make the refresh stable - currently all Power BI projects are NO GO because of this.
Thanks!
