Please upgrade to version 1.28.5 and download the BW Query Extension  - see

The version (1.25) you are using has very limited functionality with BW

Thanks a ton Tammy for quick response.

Unfortunately installing new version is not an option for me (since installation is controlled by infrastructure team of client and needs various approvals. )

If I can get a fix for above error, it would be quick solution for them.

Pratik - the 1.25 as I recall only provided access to the Visualize room when using BW queries; are you sure you want to invest time in finding the resolution?   Is the client sure they want to use this functionality?  If so then for sure I would upgrade to at least 1.28.
