Hi @ArunRaaman ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

The link which you provided shows that the install article is specific to Azure Analysis Services. And there have some difference when you install an on-premises data gateway with different data sources. Please get more information from What is an on-premises data gateway?.

There are two different types of gateways, each for a different scenario:

On-premises data gateway allows multiple users to connect to multiple on-premises data sources. You can use an on-premises data gateway with all supported services, with a single gateway installation. This gateway is well-suited to complex scenarios with multiple people accessing multiple data sources.

On-premises data gateway (personal mode) allows one user to connect to sources, and can’t be shared with others. An on-premises data gateway (personal mode) can be used only with Power BI. This gateway is well-suited to scenarios where you’re the only person who creates reports, and you don't need to share any data sources with others.

Best regards,
Carrin
