• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HTA_HDI_WSM606 - Schema '_SYS_DI' exists ?

  The SAP error message HTA_HDI_WSM606 indicates that there is an attempt to create a schema named _SYS_DI in the SAP HANA database, but it already exists. This error typically occurs when working with SAP HANA Database and HDI (HANA Deployment Infrastructure) containers.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by trying to create a schema that already exists in the database. The _SYS_DI schema is a system schema used by the HANA Deployment Infrastructure for managing HDI containers and their associated artifacts. If you attempt to create a new HDI container or deploy an application that requires the creation of this schema, and it already exists, you will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Schemas: Verify if the _SYS_DI schema already exists in your HANA database. You can do this by executing a SQL query:
  SELECT * FROM SCHEMAS WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = '_SYS_DI';
  
  
  Use Existing Schema: If the schema already exists, you should not attempt to create it again. Instead, ensure that your deployment or application is configured to use the existing _SYS_DI schema.
  
  
  Review Deployment Scripts: If you are using deployment scripts or tools, check to ensure that they do not include commands to create the _SYS_DI schema if it already exists.
  
  
  Check for Multiple Deployments: If you are deploying multiple HDI containers or applications, ensure that there are no conflicts in schema creation across different deployments.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP HANA documentation for more information on HDI and schema management to ensure that you are following best practices.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is part of a larger deployment or migration effort.
