They would order everything separate from those giant Computer Shopper magazines, and build the rigs themselves. Nowadays, maybe gamers still build their own PCs. In the s some sociology grad students were build fast machines to better run SPSS. That was cool. Part of me finds it depressing that Gateway and the cow boxes have disappeared from our campuses. I sort of miss the every expanding CRT monitors that started to take over faculty and grad student desks.
Nobody buys desktops today, save a few high-end video editing gurus and insane gamers. The big cow-themed computer boxes are nothing but a memory. Did you own a Gateway rig back in the day?

Title Buying a Gateway Desktop in Missing the cow boxes on campus. By Joshua Kim. November 17, With you help and your article, I was able to configure the Reports and the Gateway right away without any deeper knowledge or large experience regarding Power BI.
Hi Sebastian. Thanks for your nice words. Glad the article helped you out, and you got the configuration setup working correctly. Hi Reza Thanks for that great blog. Do you know if installing the gateway will allow Live connection? Or will it be in import mode only, loading all on-premise data to the cloud?
Many thanks upfront Josef. Hi Josef. I suggest to upgrade to more recent versions; I think standard version supports MD live connection. This post was really useful! I have a gateway installed on my computer and the refreshes are working as they should be. However, when I am not in the office, the refresh will fail as the gateway is offline.
Hi Bheeshma I would recommend installing the gateway on a machine that is always running, such as a server, rather than a laptop or individual machines. There are no extra costs for the on-prem gateway, except the fee that you pay for Power BI Premium, or Pro licenses.
I have a on-premise gateway installed and working in the Power BI Service. However, this is the free service version of Power BI.
I would also like to access this same gateway from my organizations Power BI Pro service. Any suggestions. Also you need to make anyone else who wants to have access to the gateway admin or Manage gateway panel to be gateway administrator, and also everyone who uses the gateway to be the data source users Cheers Reza.
There is no licensing for Connection. However, when you want to share the report and host it in an organizational workspace, that time is when the licensing comes into consideration. Thank you so much, its very helpful. Please assist, the data source is an excel path. Hi Amanda Does the account you have provided in the credential, has access to the Excel file path? Hi Karthik There are many things that can cause this issue. You might have the SSAS server not working on those times, or the load from users at those times are high, and that creates a bottleneck under the server which it cannot resolve, etc.
To give you a precise answer, I need to look at the configurations in details. Checking the SSAS log would help to see when that happens. If yes, how?
Yes, you can access the folder on other servers too, but that folder should be shared, and you should be using UNC path for it. I created cubes using SSAS on my local machine. The thing is I had problems when trying to publish my reports to power BI service. I setup the gateway successfully using the PowerBI service and connected to the database using my local login credentials. Please contact the gateway administrator. Hi Victor, there can be some reasons for this.
What version of SSAS you are using? I see that you recommend 64 bit Windows Server for the gateway, but is it possible to install the recommended gateway on a machine running Windows 10 Home and to properly connect to it? This is really just for learning purposes. I had tried to do this and the gateway was online but I could not connect to my data source. It said my credentials were wrong but I had entered them in the format that you indicated above. I uninstalled the gateway after that and removed it from Power BI online, but then I found this post and thought you might know what was wrong.
Thanks for your response! You CAN install the recommended gateway on a windows 10 home too. I guess probably the account that was running the service, or the account used to create the data source had the problem. Hi Parul No. Hi Reza Your article has made many things clear to me. But I still have a doubt.
My intention is to create a connection to a SQL Server database. That server already has security implemented schemes, user groups, etc. Do I need to create a Datasource for each profile? Hi CLaudia I am not sure how this question is related to the gateway. However, if you want to create different schemas in your database for Sales, Accounting, HR, certainly you can do that.
What is Gateway? Diagram below shows the role of gateway in connection; Do you need gateway always? Personal Mode When you install gateway in personal mode, you can use it yourself only.
On-premises Recommended Mode On-premises has a recommended mode to install. Gateway Architecture here are the details of architecture of the gateway; Gateway installed on a machine in the on-premises domain. During this installation credentials stored in local and Power BI service. Credentials entered for the data source in Power BI are enrypted then stored in the cloud.
Data Movement Service analyses the query and pushes to appropriate service bus instance. There is a queue of requests in service bus. Gateway pulls bus for pending requests.
Gateway gets the query, execute it on the data source. After getting the result, gateway push that back to Power BI. Important things to consider before installing the gateway The gateway can be installed on any machines in the on-premises domain. Here are requirements for gateway installation: Minimum Requirements:.
NET 4. The gateway can be installed only on 64bit Windows operating system. Gateway machine should be always up and running to cater for data refresh queries. After running the installation file, you will see the option to choose the gateway type For this example, we are going to install on-premises recommended gateway option, because it supports Live connection and DirectQuery connection which we will talk about it in other posts.
To register your gateway, you need to use your Power BI email account, and then sign in. You can then Register a new gateway or migrate or restore an existing gateway.
Select Register a new gateway, and continue. You will need to enter two important information; Gateway name: a name that can remind you where this gateway is installed. For example, Reza-Vaio-Gateway or something like that. Recovery Key: this is a very important key and is required for recovering the gateway later. If you want to uninstall it and install again, or if you want to move gateway from one machine to another without the hassle of changing all connections, then keep the gateway name and recovery key in a safe place.
You can also add the gateway to an existing gateway cluster. This option is added recently for having high availability through gateways. For this example, leave that unchecked. Adding Data Sources The gateway itself is just for creating the connection from cloud to the local domain. Set up Gateway Connection to The Dataset After adding the required data sources, then you can create the connection through the gateway.
Troubleshooting There are a few scenarios that you may face an issue when setting up the gateway. Here I explained them one by one; You cannot see the gateway listed when you go to your dataset setting. The reason is most probably because you did not add all data sources needed for that dataset. Go to Power BI Desktop and check have you added all data sources or not.
Under Advanced settings , optionally configure the privacy level for your data source doesn't apply to DirectQuery. You can remove a data source if you no longer use it. Removing a data source breaks any dashboards and reports that rely on that data source.
To remove a data source, go to the data source and then select Remove from the more options menu. The more options menu appears when you hover your cursor next to the data source name. After you create the data source, it's available to use with either DirectQuery connections or through scheduled refresh. You can learn more about setting up scheduled refresh in Configure scheduled refresh. Server and database names must match between Power BI Desktop and the data source added to the on-premises data gateway.
The link between your dataset and the data source in the gateway is based on your server name and database name. These names must match. For example, if you supply an IP address for the server name, in Power BI Desktop, you must use the IP address for the data source in the gateway configuration. If you're listed in the Users tab of the data source configured in the gateway, and the server and database name match, you see the gateway as an option to use with scheduled refresh.
If your dataset contains multiple data sources, each data source must be added in the gateway. If one or more data sources aren't added to the gateway, you won't see the gateway as available for scheduled refresh. OAuth is a supported authentication scheme only for custom connectors with the on-premises data gateway. After you add a data source to a gateway, you give users and email-enabled security groups access to the specific data source not the entire gateway. The access list for the data source controls only who is allowed to publish reports that include data from the data source.
Report owners can create dashboards and apps, and then share those items with other users. Users with access to the data source can associate datasets to the data source, and connect, based on the security options either the stored credentials or Single Sign-On selected while creating a data source.
Select Users , and enter the users and mail-enabled security groups from your organization who will access the selected data source. Select Add , and the added member's name is added to the list of people who can publish reports that use this data source.
Remember that you need to add users to each data source that you want to grant access to. Each data source has a separate list of users.
