Step 2 — Open Gateway and cloud connections

On the settings page, expand Gateway and cloud connections.

 

Step 3 — Select your gateway

Under On-premises data gateway, make sure the gateway running BI Connector is selected.

 

Step 4 — Map the connection to the semantic model

In the Maps to column, select the gateway connection you created in Power BI: Create a Gateway Connection to the BI Connector Data Source from the drop-down.

Step 5 — Apply

Click Apply. Your semantic model is now mapped to the gateway connection.

 

Step 6 — Set up scheduled refresh

To automate the refresh, expand Refresh on the same settings page, turn on scheduled refresh, set the frequency and times, and click Apply.

 

Tip — Turn on refresh failure notifications so you are emailed if a scheduled refresh fails.

 

Done! Your report's semantic model refreshes through the gateway connection on the schedule you set, keeping your Oracle BI data current.
