  The SAP error message HTA_HDI_WSM612 indicates that there is an issue related to the role 'HTA_UPS_COMMON' in the context of SAP HANA Database and HDI (HANA Deployment Infrastructure). This error typically arises when there is an attempt to create a role that already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the role 'HTA_UPS_COMMON' is already defined in the database. When you try to create or deploy a new HDI container or application that includes the creation of this role, the system detects that the role already exists, leading to the error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Roles: Verify if the role 'HTA_UPS_COMMON' already exists in your SAP HANA database. You can do this by querying the system views or using the SAP HANA Studio or SAP HANA Database Explorer.
  SELECT * FROM _SYS_REPO.ROLES WHERE ROLE_NAME = 'HTA_UPS_COMMON';
  
  
  Modify Deployment: If the role exists and you need to deploy a new version of your application, you may need to modify your deployment script or HDI deployment configuration to avoid attempting to create the role again. This could involve:
  
  Skipping the role creation step if it already exists.
  Updating the existing role instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Drop the Role (if applicable): If the existing role is not needed or is incorrect, you can drop the role before redeploying. Be cautious with this approach, as it may affect other applications or users that rely on this role.
  DROP ROLE HTA_UPS_COMMON;
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that no other objects depend on the role before dropping it. If there are dependencies, you may need to address those first.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation related to HDI and role management for any specific guidelines or best practices that may apply to your situation.
