Your file was published but disconnected

[Ahmadbelal12]

Hi everyone, 

I have a PowerBI semantic model that I use as the main source of data and all of my other dashboards connect to it as Direct Query. 
When I publish one of the dashboards, I get the message that it's disconnected. 

After going to PowerBI Service by clicking "Open Dataset Settings", I get the following settings. Now, am not entirely sure what I should do. I am the owner of all the datasets in question, and I don't know why I keep getting this error. 

Appreciate your assistance and support on this. 

Thank you in advance.

In the Cloud connections section, you'll need to set the mapping, if one exists, or create a new one.  As to why this keeps happening is anyones guess.  I usually see this when publishing new reports, but don't see it for publishing updates.  I believe there is a tenant setting related to this.  I'll reply with it once I find it.

@Ahmadbelal12 You need to do the following:

1. Install a data gateway: Install an on-premises data gateway | Microsoft Learn
2. Configure the data gateway: Use the on-premises data gateway app | Microsoft Learn
3. Create a connection on that data gateway that is for the data source you are using in your PBIX file: Add or remove a gateway data source - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
4. Map your data source in the PBIX to the data connection on the gateway
