Cause:
The error is related to prompting for credentials for an adapter. Since the data is embedded it should not ask for any credentials.
Remove the Connection that does not have any tables.
1). Select Edit-> Data Connection Properties
2). Delete the connection named Connection.
3). Press OK.
4). Save the analysis to library.
