Cause
The error means that Benchmark Factory for Databases (BMF) cannot locate the trace files in the shared folder.

Resolution
RESOLUTION1
The "could not find any trace files to import with template of in the shared directory" message was displayed because the trace ran for only 4 seconds. Also a user has to login after the capture has been started in order for BMF to correctly trace.
RESOLUTION2
Please make sure there are trace files (eg. *CAPTURE_20121402153613*.trc) in the shared folder and the user have enough privileges to read those files.
RESOLUTION3
If only <sid>_ora_*.trc files are written (eg. orcl_ora_12117.trc) then this could mean the session has been connected to database before the capture started. BMF capture cannot change the trace file name of a connected session. Alternatively the trace files can replayed by choosing the "Replay load from Oracle Trace file(s)" option in the Load Scenario wizard.
