Note for Power BI Gateway users: When running the connector through the PowerBI Gateway, the Location property will need to be set to an absolute path. This is because the Gateway runs under a Windows service account.
The path to a directory which contains the schema files for the connector (.rsd files for tables and views, .rsb files for stored procedures). The folder location can be a relative path from the location of the executable. The Location property is only needed if you want to customize definitions (for example, change a column name, ignore a column, and so on) or extend the data model with new tables, views, or stored procedures.
If left unspecified, the default location is "%APPDATA%\\CData\\Elasticsearch Data Provider\\Schema" with %APPDATA% being set to the user's configuration directory:
Platform | %APPDATA% |
Windows | The value of the APPDATA environment variable |
Mac | ~/.config |
Linux | ~/.config |
