Azure Cosmos DB Connector on Gateway
We are happy to announce that you can now connect to Azure Cosmos DB using the on-premises data gateway with the December gateway.
December version of the mashup engine
This monthโs Gateway update also includes an updated version of the Mashup Engine, which will match the Power BI Desktop December update. This will ensure that the reports that you publish to the Power BI Service and refresh via the Gateway will go through the same query execution logic/run-time as in the latest Power BI Desktop version.
.Net Framework Update
The Gateway install will require .NET 4.8 framework in all versions from February 2021 and later. For information on what version of the .NET Framework is pre-installed with your operating system, consult the documentationย here.
Deprecation Notice –ย Kerberos single sign-on (SSO) to SAP BW using gx64krb5
Microsoft is discontinuing support forย the use of gx64krb5 while creating SAP BW data sources in Power BI, effective immediately. Existing connections will continue to work but you will not be able to create new connections starting February 2021. Going forward, please use CommonCryptoLib instead .
