• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HTA_HDI_WSM006 - Error in validation of the resource URL; relative URL expected ?

  The SAP error message HTA_HDI_WSM006 indicates that there is an issue with the validation of a resource URL, specifically that a relative URL is expected but not provided. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP HANA XS Advanced (XSA) applications, particularly when dealing with HDI (HANA Deployment Infrastructure) containers.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following issues:
  
  Absolute URL Provided: The application is trying to use an absolute URL instead of a relative URL when defining resources in the HDI container.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration files (like xs-app.json or mta.yaml) may have incorrect paths or URLs defined.
  Resource Path Issues: The resource paths defined in the application may not be correctly set up to point to the expected relative paths.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the HTA_HDI_WSM006 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Resource URLs:
  
  Review the configuration files (e.g., xs-app.json, mta.yaml) and ensure that all resource URLs are defined as relative URLs. For example, instead of using http://example.com/resource, use /resource.
  
  
  
  Update Configuration:
  
  If you find any absolute URLs, change them to relative URLs. For instance, if you have a URL that starts with a domain name, remove that part and ensure it starts with a /.
  
  
  
  Validate Paths:
  
  Ensure that the paths you are using in your application code or configuration files correctly point to the resources within the HDI container.
  
  
  
  Redeploy the Application:
  
  After making the necessary changes, redeploy your application to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Check Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for HDI and XS Advanced to ensure that you are following the best practices for defining resource URLs.
