Hello everyone,
I am having a problem creating a new data source to connect to local SSAS server.
The error code: DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_UnsupportedServerVersion
Error Details: "The gateway does not support the version of the specified data source. Please make sure to check the list of supported data sources, install the latest version of the gateway or upgrade your data source to a newer version."
Version of SQL Server : 2012 with CU 4 for SP1
Installed the latest On-premises Data Gateway.
Version: 13.0.1500.472
The SSAS server I am trying to connect to is installed locally on my laptop. The gateway is also installed locally.
I was able to successfully install and sign-in to the gateway.
Note: I can create a SQL Server connection successfully, but Analysis Services data source is failing.
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.
As the error message mentioned, the version of your connecting SSAS server is not supported. Power BI only supports SSAS 2012 or later. In this scenario, your SSAS may not upgrade to 2012 SP1 CU4, even your Database Engine is 2012 SP1 CU4. Please check your SSAS version, see: How to determine the version, edition and update level of SQL Server and its components.

Thank you for your reply. You were correct. After I upgraded to SP3 and my version became 11.0.6020 it connected just fine.
