hi  @Anonymous 

I have tested on my side, it works well.

For the error massage, please check if you are in the admin of this gateway.

If still have the problem, you'd better create a support ticket to get more further.

Did you create the gateway? If not, you need to get ahold of the person who did and have them add permissions for you.

@Greg_Deckler Thanks for the swift reply!. 

 

Yes, I Created the Gateway and it successfully running. The issue with this below error where I'm facing While creating a dataflow with Blank query. 

Well now, that is odd. I would double check the permissions on that connection in the gateway. I am going to assume that you are using the same account to try to create this dataflow that you are to create and admin the gateway. I will have to research if perhaps there is some limitation of Dataflows that might be causing this.
