Connection Error Sybase

All

I'm attempting to set up a connection to our on prem sybase database.  I've added an odbc connection on the server that is hosting the On-premises data gateway to the sybase database.  This is the current error I am getting.

 

Gateway: An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'The type initializer for 'Sap.Data.SQLAnywhere.SAConnection' threw an exception.'

 

The gateway software was updated 2 days ago and is up to date.  Is setting up an ODBC connection to my sybase database the correct path to take, or should I be using connectors on the connectors tab on the On-premises data gateway?

 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

I faced a problem with an outdated gateway a few days ago. Update the software was not enough, I had to drop the gateway configuration on Power BI portal and create again.

 

I'm not sure if this was an specific issue I had or if it should be a general rule.

Kind Regards,

Thanks Dennes

I restarted the gateway service and this has resolved my issue.
