This is the already implemented original solution: Install and configure an on-premises data gateway with valid source credentials. A gateway securely brokers supported refresh queries to sources unavailable directly to the cloud. It does not itself solve the new requirement.

This observes the original approach but is not an additional action: The service completes a scheduled refresh through the mapped gateway data source.

This remains unsuitable for the original situation: Publishing alone does not provide connectivity to an isolated on-premises SQL server. It also does not meet the changed need.

This might be appropriate after a different requirement arises: Both sources are moved into the same formally governed organizational boundary. It is not the best initial response to the stated case.

Marking sensitive data as public can weaken the intended privacy protections. The proposed shortcut 'Set every confidential source to Public just to remove the warning' fails the documented need.

This addresses a separate source situation: A sales analyst needs a weekly dashboard from a cloud SQL database, and five-minute freshness is unnecessary. It does not directly satisfy this case's priority.

This addresses a different case: A sales analyst needs a weekly dashboard from a cloud SQL database, and five-minute freshness is unnecessary. It is not the specific defect in 'Set every confidential source to Public just to remove the warning'.

Product familiarity is not evidence of suitability. The actual defect in this proposal is: Marking sensitive data as public can weaken the intended privacy protections.

This is reasoning supporting the preferred solution 'Set appropriate data-source privacy levels and review the combination behavior', but it does not directly name the defect in the proposed shortcut.

Approval of a proposed design is not evidence of working behavior. The required observation is: The combination executes under approved privacy settings without leaking private inputs.

A future test is not yet observed operational evidence. The verification must establish: The combination executes under approved privacy settings without leaking private inputs.

This belongs to a different case: A sales analyst needs a weekly dashboard from a cloud SQL database, and five-minute freshness is unnecessary. It does not validate the current change.

This observes the original approach but is not an additional action: The combination executes under approved privacy settings without leaking private inputs.

This remains unsuitable for the original situation: Marking sensitive data as public can weaken the intended privacy protections. It also does not meet the changed need.

This is the already implemented original solution: Set appropriate data-source privacy levels and review the combination behavior. Power Query privacy boundaries can prevent unintended information disclosure across queries. It does not itself solve the new requirement.

Visual design changes will not correct a stale source endpoint. The proposed shortcut 'Rebuild every visual before checking the saved connection address' fails the documented need.

This addresses a separate source situation: A team needs to query an on-premises Oracle system from Power BI Desktop but has not installed its required local provider. It does not directly satisfy this case's priority.

This might be appropriate after a different requirement arises: Security rotates the database password after the host migration. It is not the best initial response to the stated case.

This is reasoning supporting the preferred solution 'Change the affected data source settings and validate the connection', but it does not directly name the defect in the proposed shortcut.

Approval of a proposed design is not evidence of working behavior. The required observation is: Refresh succeeds against the new host and returns the expected sample rows.

A future test is not yet observed operational evidence. The verification must establish: Refresh succeeds against the new host and returns the expected sample rows.

This observes the original approach but is not an additional action: Refresh succeeds against the new host and returns the expected sample rows.

This remains unsuitable for the original situation: Visual design changes will not correct a stale source endpoint. It also does not meet the changed need.

This is the already implemented original solution: Change the affected data source settings and validate the connection. Data-source settings determine the endpoint and authentication used by Power Query. It does not itself solve the new requirement.

This addresses a separate source situation: A production report needs additional source columns, and Power Query currently uses a hardcoded column selection. It does not directly satisfy this case's priority.

This might be appropriate after a different requirement arises: The firm later wants date cutoffs configurable without editing M steps. It is not the best initial response to the stated case.

Scattered hardcoded paths increase deployment errors and maintenance. The proposed shortcut 'Hardcode production server names separately in every transformation step' fails the documented need.

This addresses a different case: A production report needs additional source columns, and Power Query currently uses a hardcoded column selection. It is not the specific defect in 'Hardcode production server names separately in every transformation step'.

Product familiarity is not evidence of suitability. The actual defect in this proposal is: Scattered hardcoded paths increase deployment errors and maintenance.

This is reasoning supporting the preferred solution 'Create Power Query parameters for server and database values', but it does not directly name the defect in the proposed shortcut.
