InfoPath 2010 form connected via a .NET web service (external data source) to migrate to SP Online

[Thanuja Seneviratne]

Hi

We have InfoPath form having external data sources (Connected by .Net web services). What is the remedy for this when the form is migrated to SharePoint Online? 

Or do we have to re-create PowerApps instead and use data gateways to connect to external data source eliminating accessing old .NET web service?

@Thanuja Seneviratne The recommendation is to go with Powerapps. If your data sources is on-premise, validate whether the DataGateway supports your on-premise Data Source.   you can find the Supported Data Sources here -  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-gateway-onprem

Thanks @Maruthi Gadde for the quick response.

I understood what do you meant by on-premise. If the external data source is not in cloud, we should be able to use this method

@Thanuja Seneviratne not sure if the above comment is a question

@Maruthi Gadde  - it is not. It is a statement after I realize what on-premise data source is.

Just to let you know, developers did a POC and were able to create connection to the on-premise web service (which access an external data source) with InfoPath form. They used following method to enable InfoPath 2013 in the developer machine as a pre-requite to access InfoPath form in SPO

Seems this is the work-around for this scenario without having to create PowerApps.
