Gateway Cluster Parameter is Incorrect

I am getting this error when I try to make a connection to an SQL server along with files.

The gateway is able to connect to some sources but does not allow for others. I am unable to find the cause of this error. The status code I am getting along with this is "Status code: 400". Any advice on a solution or workaround to allow the power BI report to auto update another way would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ,  @Anonymous 

According to your description, the error code return "Parameter is Incorrect". Right?

For your issue, you can try restarting the gateway and then trying to create the data source definition again.
Alternatively, you can try to uninstall and try after reinstalling and reinstalling the latest version of the data gateway.
