Actually, I managed to get my desired result via the API by using https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{{group_id}}/datasets/{{dataset_id}}//Default.UpdateDatasources and updating the server to point to the other one.
@Anonymous,
Please check that if the server name and database name of the SQL server data source are same in the PBIX file and in G2 gateway.
You can post a screenshot about data sources of Power BI Desktop and G2 gateway here for us to analyze. In Power BI Desktop, please go to File -> Options and settings ->Data source settings to check all the data sources of the dataset,

Hi,
I think my understanding of gateways was wrong. I thought it was possible to switch between (different) datasets by selecting another gateway, but now I see that to switch between gateways, they must point to the same server/database.
Is that correct?
Then, How can I solve my initial problem: using the same set of repports (pbix file) multiple times for different databases? For example, if I have a base file that I want to use for each of my clients (each one in its own workspace). I tried to duplicate/connect to the new DB/delete old table and rename new ones to match, but it gets very time consumming as the number of tables increase.
@Anonymous,
Another option is to define database/table parameters in your PBIX file and create a Power BI template.
