I have a usecase,
Where I want to access on prem Data(using DataGaetway) from a Env which is being tied to a Vnet.
When I try to delegate it to a Vnet, my On prem Sql server Connector connection breaks.
As per Microsoft documentation On prem Sql connectivity is not supported for that connector in Vnet.
How can I fetch the data in the flow

    Hi,
     
    One possible solution is to call desktop flow from cloud flow. The desktop flow will query the on premise sql server and return the result set back to the cloud flow using output parameter.
     
     
    If this reply helps & solves the problem, pls mark it as accepted solution.

    Use Power Query Action: In cloud flow, add "Transform data using Power Query". Connect via on-prem gateway it supports SQL queries/stored procs returning data. Run query, get results as array.

    Call Desktop Flow : Create PAD flow on gateway machine with SQL actions. Trigger as child flow from cloud flow. It queries on-prem SQL directly, returns data ----- skips VNet connector issue.
