Error with ODBC connection to ODBC-JDBC bridge

[Xaribdis]

Hi, 

I'm trying to connect PowerBI to Amazon Athena using a ODBC-JDBC bridge to keep DataZone authentication, which require a JDBC driver. The bridge I'm using is from OpenLink. 

I've configured the bridge and the test connection on the Data Origin Administrator is successful. However, when I try to connect to this data origin in PowerBI I get the following error:

Detalles: "ODBC: ERROR [IM003] No se puede cargar el controlador especificado debido al error del sistema 126: No se puede encontrar el módulo especificado. (OpenLink Lite for JDBC (9.0), C:\Program Files\OpenLink Software\UDA\bin\ntl9j18z.dll)."

The file specified in the path in the error exists, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.

Thanks

I've followed the suggested steps but it still not works with the same error. 

Also after researching further about the error the step of registering the DLL with regsvr32 seems to not be valid for every DLL, being this one of such cases. 
There is this post from 2018 with the same error and no solution provided, so I'm assuming this problem is not solved.

Hi @Xaribdis,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

If you're encountering System Error 126 when connecting Power BI to Amazon Athena via an ODBC-JDBC bridge, it’s likely due to a missing or unregistered DLL. Here are some steps to resolve it:

1.Ensure you are using the correct 64-bit or 32-bit driver matching your Power BI version

2.you need to register the DLL, you can  Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\OpenLink Software\UDA\bin\ntl9j18z.dll"2.

3.Check for the missed dependencies, for this you can use Dependency walker to verify missing DLL. Install necessary Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables from Microsoft’s site.

4.Add the driver path to System Environment Variables under Path:

C:\Program Files\OpenLink Software\UDA\bin\

5.then Run Power BI as Admin by Right-click on Power BI Desktop → Run as Administrator.

6 If the issue repeats, please uninstall the OpenLink driver, restart your PC, reinstall the latest version, and reconfigure the ODBC-JDBC bridge.
