Hi @kochspet,
Based on the error message, it seem that you have not add your data source to Date Gateway.
Please check if you have edit the Credential for the Dataset under Setting and if your Gateway is online.
If it is convenient, please share some screenshots to show your Manage Gateway.
Best Regards,
