How to Configure a Gateway for Power BI Service with Creatio

Hi Creatio Community! 👋
 

I’d like to share a quick guide on how to set up a gateway for Power BI Service (Power BI Cloud) to connect with Creatio data. This is an essential step for enabling cloud services to access on-premises data sources.
 

What’s a Gateway, and Why Do You Need It?

A gateway acts as a bridge, allowing Power BI Service to securely access on-premises data sources. Without it, the connection to cloud Power BI can’t be established for apps like the Creatio Power BI Connector.
 

How to Configure a Gateway

Follow these official Microsoft guides to set up your gateway:

1. Install the Gateway
   Install an On-premises Data Gateway
   This guide walks you through downloading and installing the gateway on your machine.
2. Configure Data Sources
   Configure Gateway Data Sources
   After installation, connect your Creatio data source to the gateway for use in Power BI Service.
    

Key Notes

• The gateway setup is a standard Microsoft feature, and these steps ensure a secure and seamless connection.
• If you encounter any issues, Microsoft’s support documentation is a great resource, or feel free to ask questions here in the community!
