• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6PM806 - Create non-default partition group first to integrate new DB partition(s) ?

  The SAP error message DB6PM806 indicates that you are trying to create a new database partition in a system that requires a non-default partition group to be created first. This error typically arises in environments where database partitioning is used, such as SAP HANA or other databases that support partitioning.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  You are attempting to create a new database partition without having a non-default partition group set up.
  The system requires that any new partitions be associated with a partition group that is not the default one.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Create a Non-Default Partition Group:
  
  Access your database management tool or SAP HANA Studio.
  Navigate to the section where you can manage partition groups.
  Create a new partition group that is not the default. This typically involves specifying the name and any relevant parameters for the partition group.
  
  
  
  Assign the New Partition to the Non-Default Group:
  
  Once the non-default partition group is created, you can proceed to create the new database partition.
  Ensure that when you create the new partition, you assign it to the non-default partition group you just created.
  
  
  
  Verify Configuration:
  
  After creating the partition and assigning it to the correct group, verify that the configuration is correct.
  Check for any additional settings or parameters that may need to be adjusted based on your specific database and application requirements.
