Dataflow SQL Server Unspecified Error

Hello,

 

Up until this week I had a dataflow set up to pull from a SQL server.  When trying to add a new entity, it no longer will connect when the Database is specified.

However, when I do NOT specify a database, it works.  This is an issue in having others "Take Over" my dataflow to automate.  All current connections (which worked until this week) have specified Databases in their queries and are currently failing, asking me to specify how to connect.

 

I have: 

1. Verified that I'm typing the credentials correctly (it's working without a specified database)

2. Tried adding a different Data Source (failed)

3. Updated my Gateway to 3000.66.4

4. Tried entering my credentials in the Query itself (failed)

 

Help!

@Anonymous Also has this issue.

Thanks,

Did your tenant admin enable the "new"  analytics engine on your capacity? It had quite a few adverse impacts on the dataflows in a workspace.
