Connecting Oracle to PowerBi and SASS

Hello,   I am trying to connect a new oracle database to an existing SSAS tabular model that we use in Live connect mode with a powerBi dashboard.

I have gone through the tutorials and installed the oracle client tools.  64-bit Oracle Client for Microsoft Tools 19c

I am able to connect PowerBi to the database and import the data.  Everything works.   But in live connect mode you can only connect to one source so I need to pull the data into my SSAS model.

 

In SSAS I can create a new data source for my oracle database,   I can select the tables to import,  it creates the tables.   But when I try to "Process tables"  and actually pull data into SASS if fails with this error.  

Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'No ODAC driver is found on the system. Please visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=272376 to install the provider.'.

 

The link tells me to install the tools I have already installed.    I believe my setup is correct because it does work in powerBi.   In SSAS I can go through DataSource->Import Tables-> Select Tables-> Transform Data  and I can see the data in the powerQuery editor.  But I can never get the data pulled into the table.

 

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Solved,   After all of my testing doing a full system reboot solved the problem.   I had restarted VS, power bi and everything but it seems to need a reboot.
