Organizations use VNets for enhanced security and isolation. Cloud data sources such as Azure SQL DW and Azure Database can be <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/sql-database\/sql-database-vnet-service-endpoint-rule-overview\">secured with VNet endpoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Analysis Services inbound traffic can be controlled using <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/hardening-azure-analysis-services-with-the-new-firewall-capability\/\">firewall rules<\/a>. However, Azure Analysis Services requires access to data sources in-order to perform data refresh operations. If the data sources are cloud-based and secured with a VNet, it is necessary to provide access to Analysis Services. This can be done using the <b>AlwaysUseGateway <\/b>server property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setting this property to <b>true<\/b> specifies Azure Analysis Services always use an On-premises data gateway for access to data sources &#8211; whether or not the data source happens to be cloud-based. It therefore requires the On-premises data gateway is set up as described in this <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/analysis-services\/analysis-services-gateway-install\">article<\/a>, and the gateway computer resides on the VNet. Data refresh operations are directed to the gateway machine, which in-turn can successfully access the data source(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <b>AlwaysUseGateway<\/b> server property can be set by using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Connect to the Azure Analysis Services server, right-click on the server, select <b>Properties<\/b>, <b>General<\/b>, and <b>Show Advanced (All) Properties<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2f31abe1-5f61-4475-89a1-44c4c308362c.webp\" alt=\"AlwaysUseGateway\" title=\"AlwaysUseGateway\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to announce Azure Analysis Services now provides integration with cloud data sources residing on Azure Virtual Networks (VNets).
