I respect your contributions to community and commitment to the Microsoft BI Stack and your knowledge of all things Power BI.
To that end, would you be so kind as to read the post at the following link and share your comments regarding such with me as well as the Power BI team.
https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/15708798-power-bi-enterprise-gateway-fails-to-set-session-c
I believe I’ve made a salient case for the need for a fix to what I believe to be a critical design flaw in the implementation of the Power BI Enterprise Gateway when connecting to SQL Server 2016 or Azure SQL DB or Azure SQL DW.
Thank you for your consideration and learned reply.
Respectfully,
