Explanation:
A transfer structure that is not an InfoSource was selected in the Import SAP BW Metadata dialog box. Only InfoSources can be imported.

Select InfoSources only and then click Add to Import List.

Hostname <hostname> unknown.

Explanation:
The SAP BW Service cannot connect to the host specified in the saprfc.ini file (as the GWHOST entry) and cannot connect to the SAP NetWeaver BI system. This error originates in Common Program Interface-Communications (TCP/IP) on the local host.
User Response:
Change the GWHOST entry in the saprfc.ini file to point to the host on which the SAP NetWeaver BI system is running.

The SAP BW system does not contain any activated InfoSources.

In the SAP NetWeaver BI system, create and activate the InfoSources you want to import into PowerCenter.

The Designer is not connected to the SAP BW server.

In the Import SAP BW Metadata dialog box, Add to Import List was clicked before a connection was made to the SAP NetWeaver BI system.

Open saprfc.ini failed: No such file or directory.

Explanation:
The Designer, Integration Service, or SAP BW Service could not locate the saprfc.ini file. Either the file does not exist or the RFC_INI environment variable is not set correctly.
User Response:
Verify that the saprfc.ini file exists. Also verify that the RFC_INI environment variable is equal to the full path of the saprfc.ini file. You must stop and restart the Service Manager for the environment variables to take effect.
