Hello, I am also having the same issue. Our gateway has been up and running from past few years but when I try to create a Sybase connection I am getting the below error.

 

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

 

Could you please help me with this?
