    Power BI allows us top connect to SAP BW system by providing details of server name, instance & client. But it does not have a mechanism to connect with SAP BW message server or group server (with dynamic selection of application server along with instance). Due to this limitation we are only able to connect with a specific application server. As a result it can create huge load in specific server and crash the same. But otherwise if we could connect to message/group server the Load Balancer would have equally distribute the load.

    So can you implement the same for both Power BI Desktop and Gateway.

    Yes, agreed! All our SAP Systems are only reachable through a SAP router!

    It's vital to have an ability to establish a connection to the SAP BW instance using the SAP Router string
