Symptom
When validating an SAP HANA connection (On-Premise) in SAP Datasphere, the following warning message is displayed:
"Connection is valid, but not all features are available."
"Model Import can't be used because of errors in the connection."
"HANA connection does not have category cloud."
However, in the connection Edit screen, Model Import is already shown as Disabled.
Environment
- SAP Datasphere
- HANA on-premise
Cause
This is a known defect.
Resolution
This issue will be fixed in SAP Datasphere version 2026.16.
Until the fix is available, please note no action is required for the warning. It can be safely ignored. The connection itself is valid and all other enabled features (Data Flows, Replication Flows, Remote Tables) are not affected.
