Hi,

 Thanks for your reply. Now I can be able to connect with my sybase database through ODBC.Datasource() function instead of Sybase.Database() and also I have give Authorization[usernamePassword()] so it is asking db user name and password(working fine). I have created a connector and it is working fine with Power BI Desktop. I have published my Power BI application to cloud, now I am getting an error message as "Failed to update the datasource credientials" while I am  trying to update my database credientials in "Data Source Credientials" option. I have searched alot, I got some suggestions like Disabling MFA authentication, install new gate way like that. I have tried the solutions which is suggested. Still I am  getting the same error message.

Can't you edit and enter the credential of Sybase Database to continue?
