You import data from an on-premises SQL Server 2019 database into Power BI Desktop and publish the report to a workspace in the Power BI service. The report must refresh automatically each night while the database remains inside the corporate network firewall. What must you configure in the Power BI service to meet the requirement?
Install and register an on-premises data gateway, then map the dataset's SQL Server credentials to the gateway.
Change the dataset's storage mode to DirectQuery.
Add the SQL Server dataset as a certified dataset in the workspace.
Enable the workspace's large dataset storage format.
Because the source database is on-premises and inaccessible directly from the Power BI cloud service, the dataset's scheduled refresh can succeed only through an on-premises data gateway. Installing the gateway, registering it in the Power BI service, and mapping the dataset's SQL Server connection to that gateway allows the service to securely reach the database during refresh. Enabling large dataset format, switching to DirectQuery, or certifying the dataset does not by itself provide a secure network path to the on-premises server; each of those actions would still require a gateway or has no impact on connectivity.
