3746538 - Error in import "We couldn't import your object because the storage type of space [target_space] mismatches."

Symptom

Importing a package from a space with storage type "HANA Data Lake Files" to a space with storage type "Disk and In-Memory" within the same tenant fails.

Error message: "couldn’t import object [object_id]: we couldn't import your object because the storage type of space [target_space] mismatches."

Environment

  • SAP Datasphere

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in to Datasphere and open Transport > Import.
  2. Select a package exported from a space that uses storage type "HANA Data Lake Files".
  3. In Import Options, choose Space Mapping and select a target space that uses storage type "Disk and In-Memory".
  4. Start the import. The process fails with a storage type mismatch error.

Cause

Product limitation. Importing (transport) objects between spaces that use different storage types is not supported.

Resolution

  1. Import packages only between spaces that use the same storage type (for example, "HANA Data Lake Files" to "HANA Data Lake Files", or "Disk and In-Memory" to "Disk and In-Memory").
  2. If the source and target spaces use different storage types, share or move the required objects as an alternative.
