Hi Champs,
I' am new to PBI and working on pbi reports and power automate,
We have req like to save a paginated report with csv extension to a Shared drive.
I did Installed on premise gateway on client VDI and created a file connection.
everything is working fine, creating a file in shared drive when I turn on VDI, when it turned off Create file flow is failing and throws error like check your parameters.
I don't think we have that much of feasibility to install it on server, is it possible to create a file without using a on-premise gateway?
please help I got stuck on this issue.
Thanks!
Thanks for the info.
Hi @PS21 ,
Certainly, you can install a gateway in a server. Please refer to below doc:
Install an on-premises data gateway | Microsoft Learn
Best regards,
oh is it, okay then can we install on-premises gateway in server or somewhere where system will not turns off.
Same said in Solved: Issue with 'create file' on the file system - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
if possible, how can I achieve?
Thanks!
Hi @PS21 ,
It's not possible. Saving data into local machine requires a data gateway on-line.
Best regards,
Hi v-jefferni,
Thanks for the quick reply, I got what your saying but the users needs to have the csv file in shared drive like \\Servername\folder\folder.
how to achieve this without using File System/create file?
Hi @PS21 ,
You can create files in cloud storages such as SharePoint/OneDrive for business/Google Drive without using data gateway.
Best regards,
