• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_HANA_ADMIN095 - Could not drop calculated attribute &1&2 from table &3.&4 ?

  The SAP error message ESH_HANA_ADMIN095 indicates that there was an issue when trying to drop a calculated attribute from a table in the SAP HANA database. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search or SAP HANA modeling environments.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Dependency Issues: The calculated attribute you are trying to drop may be in use by other objects, such as views, procedures, or other calculated attributes. If there are dependencies, HANA will not allow you to drop the attribute.
  
  
  Permissions: The user executing the drop command may not have the necessary permissions to modify the table or its attributes.
  
  
  Database Locks: There may be locks on the table or the calculated attribute that prevent the drop operation from being executed.
  
  
  Incorrect Syntax or Context: The command to drop the calculated attribute may be incorrectly formed or executed in an inappropriate context.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Use the SAP HANA Studio or SQL console to check if the calculated attribute is being used in any other objects. You can query the system views to find dependencies.
  If dependencies exist, you will need to remove or modify those objects before you can drop the calculated attribute.
  
  
  
  Review Permissions:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to drop the calculated attribute. You may need to consult with your database administrator to grant the appropriate privileges.
  
  
  
  Release Locks:
  
  Check for any locks on the table or attribute. You can use the M_BLOCKED_TRANSACTIONS view to identify any blocking transactions and resolve them.
  
  
  
  Correct Command:
  
  Double-check the syntax of your command to ensure it is correct. Make sure you are in the right context (e.g., the correct schema) when executing the command.
  
  
  
  Use HANA Studio:
  
  If you are using SQL commands, consider using the SAP HANA Studio or Web IDE for HANA, which provides a graphical interface to manage database objects and may help avoid syntax errors.
