Data Gateway Error: The parameter is incorrect.

After uninstalling the gateway software from the C:\ drive on a server and reinstalling (using the migrate option) to the D:\ drive, I'm getting the following error message when I try to create a new data source: Unable to create a data source. There was an error in the data gateway. [Gateway Cluster Name]: The parameter is incorrect.

 

I tried it with both a SQL Server and Oracle source and got the same message. I also tried restarting the gateway. The only thing I did differently on the reinstall/migration besides the drive it's on was used a service account name for the email address, rather than my personal email address. The data sources that existed before the reinstall/migration seem to still be working, as their status says "Online." 

 

Any insight into what could be causing this error?

 

Thanks.

Seems like maybe it just needed some extra time to sync up all the changes. I didn't do anything, but about an hour later it was working again.

I had to uninstall and reinstall the Gateway to get it to work for me.
