Using 64bit HANA ODBC driver issue in VS2022 tabular project

Hello,

I'm trying to develop a tabular project for SSAS 2019 on VS2022 17.2.2.
The data source is our HANA database (64bit). THe SSAS 2019 enterprise is 64bit.
The ODBC driver is "HDBODBC". It is a 64bit driver.

As VS2022 is a 64bit application, I thought there would be no issue to use the 64bit driver.
But I cannot create the data source in the tabular project.
The connection string is "servernode=172.20.180.10:30015;driver={HDBODBC};serverdb=SHANG_PB1;currentschema=SHANG_PB1".
This connection string can be used in Power BI desktop without any problem.
But in VS2022, it does not work.

It also allows me to enter the credential.

But after I click "Connect", it gives me this error, "Unable to connect"."The 'Driver' property with value '{HDBODBC}' doesn't correspond to an installed ODBC driver."

It looks like at this point the program is not supporting the 64bit driver.
How is this happening?

But if I try to use the 32bit driver at the first place, it doesn't work, either. It even cannot pass the connection string check.

How can we use the HANA ODBC 64bit driver in VS2022?
It looks like a bug.

    Hi @Kaniel Wang ,

    Thanks for your question.

    Regarding your question, please ensure that you create a system DSN rather than a user DSN. Secondly, please make sure you have installed SAP HANA ODBC Driver on Windows 64 Bits.
