Issue with connecting PowerBI gateway to SAP BW server

Hi PowerBI supporters,

 

I have strange issue with connecting PowerBI gateway to SAP BW server.

With PowerBI desktop app running on the gateway server, we were successful to connect into SAP BW,
BUT with MS Gateway NOT.


We using the same login credentials, but gateway is still throwing the same error, do not know why:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unable to connect: We encountered an error while trying to connect to . Details: "We could not register this data source for any gateway instances within this cluster. Please find more details below about specific errors for each gateway instance."Hide details

all SW parts (OS, gateway, SAP connectors, runtimes..) are up-to-date.
OS was patched to: Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard (Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393)
Gateway version: 3000.2.47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Hi @Bartez 

Which authetication type do you select when adding  SAP BW data source under the on-premise gateway?

Do you use "single sign-on connectivity" for that data source?

If you have a pro account, you could create a free support ticket to get a more quick support.

Hi @Maggie,

 

we do not have SSO in our company, we using Basic authentication type + SAP BW user login.

 

I have Pro account, I thought this is support portal 🙂

 

I will try to create support ticket, thank you for your answer,

Bartez.
