Hello everyone
I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get to work the following scenario:
- I have two machines, one is a production server with the gateway installed (let's call it A) and the other one its from where we publish the reports to the service (B).
- B has access to A database (SQL Server) through the A server's IP plus port (for security reasons, A's a restricted access environment). The access is made in Direct Query mode.
- Like I said before, A has an on-premises enterprise gateway installed and running.
- The Power BI service has A's gateway and datasource (SQL Server instance, one database only) configured and connected though its server name property its non the IP plus port combination which B employs neither its the server's real IP, at the moment only works with the SQL Server instance real name.
- Because B's Power BI report gets A's data through the IP plus port combination, whenever I publish it, it doesn't recognize the existing gateway so the report cant show any data online. His configured datasource (although its A's database) isnt viewed as such in Power BI's eyes so the gateway isnt employed.
Any thoughts?
I considered publishing the report from within A's environment in order to make it work but its not a viable route due to security and production restrictions.
Thanks in advance!
