Gateway Server version 3000.21.18 published twice?

[JaneLHunt]

Hello

On 6 Jan 2019, I updated the On Premise Data Gateway Server software to the December 2019 version 3000.21.18.

However, today in the Power BI Service, under Manage Gateways the following message appears:

"There is a newer gateway version available.  Please upgrade to benefit from the latest features.  You can get the latest gateway version here"

I clicked on the link which took me to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53127

At this url, the Date Published says 17 Jan 2020 BUT the version number is still 3000.21.18.

Has the December Gateway Software been updated since its initial release, or is this the January version?  Why has it still got the same version number as the initial December release?  Do I need to install this same version number but with this January publication date?

Many thanks

Jane

Hi @JaneLHunt ,

On-premised Gateway version 3000.21.18 didn't be published twice. Version 3000.21.18 is the initial release version number of December 2019. Haven't found any update log about Jan 2020.

Hi there

There is certainly an update to the Gateway. The latest version I have is shown below.

I would suggest clicking on the link which should take you to the latest version.

Hi Gilbert

Thanks for your message. 

So there is a 2nd release of the December 2019 Gateway software with version number of 3000.21.22.

I was confused by the fact that in the Power BI Service,  the url site I was sent to to for the latest version of the Gateway Software showed the old version number 3000.21.18 (December 2019, Release 1) , but with a Date Published of 17 Jan 2020, as shown below:


Also, there didn't seem to be any announcement about this so wasn't sure whether to install this or not.

I have now downloaded the software from here, and once installed, it does show the version to be 3000.21.22.

Thanks once again for your help.

Kind regards

Jane

It was a little confusing to be honest.

Glad you got the latest version installed.
