Unexpected Error when creating a DataFlow
Hi. I am exploring the DataFlow functionality but seem to be falling at the first hurdle.
If I Create a new DataFlow, and add an entity, I then try to add the url of a simple .xls spreadsheet located on my OneDrive. I get an 'Unexpected Error' followed by the session ID.
Any clues as to what I may be doing wrong, or if its to do with not being able to source from OneDrive (can't imagine why not) then is there an example of a publicly available file or website I can access reliably?
Thanks in advance.
