Hi,
I am trying to configure some workflows on the server and it does not work:
But I cannot install the correct Version either:
What am I doing wrong?

Hi @tgoedeke ,
What KNIME AP version are you working with at the moment?
Your KNIME AP should be version 4.7.1 to avoid this error.
You can update your AP by choosing “update KNIME” under the file menu.
I wouldn’t be bothered much about the version numbers of specific extensions that are on the screenshot.
Let me know if this helps with the issue.
Best,

I am using knime AP 4.7.1 (build 07 February 2023) locally and also as executor on the server (headless Linux)
(Server Screenshot:
)
That is why this error seems strange to me and I created this post.
When exactly are you exhibiting the error?
Is it when you try to edit a workflow (e.g. node configuration) and save it on the server?
Neither,
it is when I use the remote workflow editor after I started a workflow as a new job on the server.
For most nodes, that works fine. In this case I tried to configure a google authentication (API key) and google bigquery connector. The big query connector settings threw that error, basically any node that can connect to the authentication node.
But I am pretty sure that I do not have the correct settings on the server anyway - the path for the API key is still a string (not an actual path) and there is no option for a mountpoint etc. (can that even run on knime server?). Simba Driver for Linux settings are also a bit of a pain in the preferences on a headless Linux server when I run windows locally.
For now, I gave up on this approach, unless I find working settings somewhere ( KNIME Database Extension Guide is fine for local usage, which is pretty easy to configure and works, but does not help for server configuration - copy/pasting local preferences into server preferences should be a topic to be reworked in the future 
).
Using Python as a bridge between knime and BigQuery is not pretty, but works - so it’s fine for now.
This post was more to let you guys know that the 4.16.1 server connector and 4.16.2 server have some problems - and maybe add selectable mountpoints to all remaining orange nodes that ingest files.
Hi,
We just released KNIME Server 4.16.3 with AP4.7.2 which addressed some bugs. Can you please give it a try if your issue is fixed with the new releases.
Thank you!
I first need to update the server and executor, but that should happen pretty soon.
The update fixed the error.
Matching Server and Connector Versions (now 4.16.3) solved the problem.
DB Loader for Bigquery Connection still only works locally, while DB Reader works locally and on server is still a mystery to me though.
