Step-by-Step guide to update Microsoft Gateway used for Power BI and other apps v1
What is a Gateway? An on-premises data gateway is software that you install in an on-premises network. The gateway facilitates access to data in that network. If you have installed the gateway already and are looking forward to updating it to the current version released by Microsoft, then this section is for you. I am trying to highlight the steps that I have implemented in my organization which can help to provide the one-place reference for you to update your gateways. I have used the November 2019 update from Microsoft while working on this blog, and Microsoft may change the steps in the future, but they can still be used as a reference, as per my understanding. Let's start!
September PBIRS new QFE released -- log file rapid increase in file size resolved
I wanted to post a notice that we have identified and resolved an issue affecting the Power BI Report Server September release. The issue involves some extra logging that was added related to identify certain memory situations into the ReportingServicesService.log file. The amount of logging this generates under those situations results in repeated and near constant logging leading to the file growing in size quickly, and in some reported cases consuming all available drive space. A QFE was released this morning, September PBIRS 1.18.8683.7488 (15.0.1113.165), which will be live for all users in the Microsoft Download Center within 24 hours. In this QFE the new logging has been properly moved to the verbose level.
