on-premises data gateway service is not found

[edant]

Hello,

I've installed the Power BI gateway on a server which restarts every day.

The gateway application doesn't start automatically unless I start it manually.

According to Microsoft documentation, there suppose to be a service called "on-premises data gateway", but I don't see it.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/data-integration/gateway/service-gateway-restart

What am I missing? how do I start the gateway automatically after the server restarts?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi, @edant 

Windows has always used the Services panel as a way to manage the services that are running on your computer. You can easily get there at any point by simply hitting WIN + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog, and typing in services.msc.

You can select the service 'On-premises data gateway service' and double-click to open up the properties view.

Then you need to set the Startup type to ‘Automatic (Delayed Start)’ or ‘Automatic’.

Thank you, the service was missing because the personal gateway was installed.

After I install the standard gateway instead, everything worked like a charm 🙂
