Symptom

Getting dataset definition failed for

Cannot find type with name: Edm.DateTime

Environment

SAP Datasphere

Reproducing the Issue

Wrong OData Version used in connection

Resolution

There is no "Edm.DateTime" datatype in OData V4:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/errata03/os/complete/part3-csdl/odata-v4.0-errata03-os-part3-csdl-complete.html#_Toc453752517
Therefore use OData V2 since "Edm.DateTime" is only available in this version.

Modify the OData connection to version V2.
