If this is happening on your local machine and you are opening up a workflow that someone else built, you need to have a DSN named exactly the same, or reconfigure the Input Data tool.

Yes, its happening in my local machine and its a new workflow that I'm working on. I verified the DSN name and its looking good too.

Can you send a screenshot of the workflow and configuration window?

Did you pick your data source after configuring it in the ODBC connection manager?
