    We are creating a naming convention for the data gateway connection. We have a challenge that existing connections are not comply with the naming convention. We are not able to rename them but only to delete existing connection and create new connections. This will cause downtime and also a complex procedure which is easily brings in mistakes.

    We wish that we can have the ability to rename the connections on data gateway.

    A way to rename all data connections, see which are there by default (eg. Lakehouse, PowerBI, BLA-BLA-datawarehoudse..., aso) and see where they are in use or not in use... like in synapse ;)

    En esencia el cluster en la puerta de enlace nace junto el archivo, y intrinsecamente en él. Pero Esto nos limita cuando son Dateset muy usados, incluso hasta llegan a ser como una reportería del día a día para el negocio. Siendo así (al igual como cualquier Enterprise Resource), debería permitir modificar, o más que ello al momento de la creación, ponerlo u obligarnos a ponerlo como un parámetro. De esta manera cuando cambie la instancia, podemos cambiar todo de manera rápida. Esto nos ayudaría muchísimo para tener mayor flexibilidad. Ojala se pueda aprobar. Saludos,Alex M.

    Can't believe the Gateway has been out there for over a year and we can't do this basic thing.

    Hi, I'm deleting and recreating a datasource because it can't be renamed. This seems like a most basic need missing. Thanks.
