• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HTA_HDI_WSM531 - Error when deleting container ?

  The SAP error message HTA_HDI_WSM531 typically occurs when there is an issue related to the deletion of a container in the SAP HANA database, particularly when using the HDI (HANA Deployment Infrastructure) framework. This error can arise due to various reasons, including dependencies, permissions, or the state of the container.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Dependencies: The container you are trying to delete may have dependent objects (like tables, views, or other containers) that need to be removed first.
  Permissions: The user account attempting to delete the container may not have the necessary permissions to perform the deletion.
  Active Connections: There may be active connections or sessions using the container, preventing its deletion.
  Container State: The container might be in a state that does not allow deletion, such as being locked or in a failed state.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Use SQL commands to check for any dependent objects within the container. You may need to drop these objects before deleting the container.
  Example SQL command to check for dependent objects:
  SELECT * FROM _SYS_OBJECTS WHERE CONTAINER_NAME = '<your_container_name>';
  
  
  
  
  Verify Permissions:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles and privileges to delete the container. You may need to grant additional permissions or use a different user account with higher privileges.
  
  
  
  Close Active Connections:
  
  Check for any active sessions or connections that might be using the container. You can use the following SQL command to identify active sessions:
  SELECT * FROM M_SESSION WHERE CONTAINER_NAME = '<your_container_name>';
  
  Terminate any active sessions if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Container State:
  
  Verify the state of the container. If it is in a failed state, you may need to resolve the underlying issues before attempting to delete it again.
  
  
  
  Use HDI Commands:
  
  If you are using HDI, you can use the HDI CLI or the SAP HANA Database Explorer to manage your containers. Ensure you are following the correct procedures for deletion.
