I have developed some reports using power bi desktop which is using IBM DB2 as datasource. I have installed On-premises data gateway in my power bi system and configured. I have to create ibm db2 datasource connection in power bi web to make live connection with my IBM DB2 database. When i tried to create datasource connection it showing me unable to connect error message.I have given correct credentials but still it showing the same error. Am i missing anything? any special permissions needed to provide from IBM DB2 database admin side? Please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance, Kannas

I had an identical error. The issue appears to be related to the credentials given in the data source settings when configuring in the online service. In my case I had not entered the domain with the username.
