How to use Enterprise Gateway (SQL) Datasource within Designer?

‎12-04-2015 01:48 AM

Hi there,

 

I installed the latest Enterprise Gateway for SQL on-prem, I create a Gateway and setup a Datasource. Copnnection is telling status ok, and now the big question, how do I connect to that data source from within the Designer or also the PowerBI Web portal, I have no clue and did not find anything in the documentations. Can anyone help?

 

Regards,

Michael

Hi together,

 

I tried as you were telling and had success. It's just so simple.

 

1. Install Enterprise Gateway

2. Setup Gateway

3. Connect within local Designer to local SQL Server source

4. Choose DirectConnect

5. Create report

6. Publish report

7. Open Report in PowerBI ... the Gateway just got used, no configuration needed, it seems that just all gets routed by teh gateway.
