Dont' know when this became broken, but I am unable to get a list of tables and views from our SQLAnywhere ODBC Data Source
Using a pretty recent driver 17.0.0.11.6933 (or later).
We can communicate and have data models built that work fine via the driver. Advanced Editor shows
Source = Odbc.DataSource("dsn=QQubeFinancials", [HierarchicalNavigation=true]),
QQubeUser_Schema = Source{[Name="QQubeUser",Kind="Schema"]}[Data],
(In case you are wondering, QQubeFinancials is a super user)
But just going to click on the Data Source, and choosing the same ODBC connection we get the following:
The qqube_win-10-usa-2000.... is the SQLAnywhere database engine name.
We have been working with the same setup and connection with thousands of customers for 6 years, and never had this issue. So something is broken.
I even went back to earlier versions of the ODBC driver, and the behavior is the same in the current version of Power BI.
We tried to run a trace log on the driver using the ODBC panel, but it gives us an sru.log that we can't read because ir appears encrypted, or we need some special tool to read it. Everywhere on the internet, there are tons of articles to turn it on, but not a single one telling you what you need to read it.
Maybe Microsoft can chime in on this.
Solved! Go to Solution.
We have solved our own problem. This was due to a specific build of the SQLAnywhere ODBC drivers 17.0.0.11.6933
Versions previous and 7059 and after (currently 7236) work as expected
