Direct Query against Oracle: Getting error 'Could not load model' in Power BI Service

I have set up the Gateway connection for the Dataset in the Settings in Power BI Service.

Hi @Eric7 ,

 

1. What mode of gateway are you using? If you are using a personal mode gateway, please change to a standard mode gateway, if the gateway is not the latest version, please update the gateway to the latest version.
