Cause

Unsufficient authorizations(1) or missing correction(2).

Resolution

  1. Make sure SAP Note 2203709 is implemented (Relevant for PI_BASIS from version 2005_1_700 to 740 only) or should not be relevant (already higher PI_BASIS)

    Checking on index server trace, you will find the error messages:

    DPAdapterManager AdapterManager.cpp(04549) : ::sendMessage: No BAdI implementation for subscriber type 'HANA_SDI'
    FedTrace DPAdapterAccess.cpp(02466) : DPAdapterAccess::BrowseMetadata: failed with error: No BAdI implementation for subscriber type 'HANA_SDI'

    That indicates the SAP Note 2203709 is missing in Datasphere's source system. Implement the note.

  2. For Unsufficient authorizations 

Make sure the maintained credentials (User from ABAP source) in the connection has sufficient authorizations:
