• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HTA_HDI_WSM607 - HDI container group '&1' exists ?

  The SAP error message HTA_HDI_WSM607 indicates that there is an attempt to create an HDI (HANA Deployment Infrastructure) container group that already exists. This error typically occurs when you are trying to deploy or create a new HDI container, but a container with the same name is already present in the system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the HDI container group you are trying to create already exists in the SAP HANA database. This can happen if:
  
  The container was previously created and not deleted.
  There was an attempt to redeploy an application or service that uses the same container name.
  There is a naming conflict due to multiple deployments or development activities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Containers:
  
  Use the SAP HANA database tools (like HANA Studio or HANA Cockpit) to check if the container group with the specified name already exists.
  You can run a SQL query to list existing HDI containers:
  SELECT * FROM _SYS_DI.HDI_CONTAINER;
  
  
  
  
  Delete or Rename the Existing Container:
  
  If the existing container is no longer needed, you can delete it using the appropriate command or tool.
  If you want to keep the existing container, consider renaming the new container you are trying to create to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  
  Modify Deployment Configuration:
  
  If you are using a deployment tool (like SAP Business Application Studio or CI/CD pipelines), ensure that the configuration does not attempt to create a container with an existing name.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Connections:
  
  Ensure that there are no active connections or transactions using the existing container that might prevent its deletion.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the official SAP documentation for HDI containers for more detailed instructions on managing containers.
