This can happen if you are using an older version of HANA that predates the introduction of certain functionalities.

  Solution:
  
  
  Upgrade HANA: The most straightforward solution is to upgrade your SAP HANA database to a version that supports the required features. Check the SAP Product Availability Matrix (PAM) to find the appropriate version that supports InA model metadata import.
  
  
  Check Compatibility: Ensure that the version of the SAP application you are using is compatible with the version of HANA you have. Sometimes, upgrading the application may also be necessary.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation for the specific InA models you are using to determine the minimum HANA version required for compatibility.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unsure about the upgrade process or need assistance, consider reaching out to SAP Support for guidance tailored to your specific environment.
  
  
  Related Information:
