This error indicates that the deployment process requires a target container to be specified, but it has not been provided.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the deployment process is missing the specification of a target container where the HDI objects should be deployed. This can happen due to:
  
  Configuration Issues: The deployment configuration may not have the target container defined.
  User Input: The user may have forgotten to specify the target container during the deployment process.

  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Specify the Target Container:
  
  When deploying HDI objects, ensure that you specify the target container. This can usually be done in the deployment configuration settings or command line parameters.
  If you are using a tool like SAP Web IDE or SAP Business Application Studio, look for the deployment settings and ensure the target container is set.
  
  
  
  Check Deployment Configuration:
  
  Review the deployment configuration files (like mta.yaml or hdiconfig.json) to ensure that the target container is defined correctly.
  Make sure that the target container exists in your SAP HANA environment.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Command:
  
  If you are deploying via command line, ensure that you are using the correct command syntax and that you include the --target option with the appropriate container name.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the official SAP documentation for HDI deployment to ensure you are following the correct procedures and using the right parameters.
