• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH343 - Procedure &1 already exists, no action required ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH343 with the description "Procedure &1 already exists, no action required" typically occurs during the process of creating or modifying a procedure in SAP HANA, particularly when using the SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA environments. This error indicates that the procedure you are trying to create already exists in the database, and therefore, no new action is needed.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is an attempt to create a stored procedure that has the same name as an existing one in the database. This can happen if:
  
  The procedure was previously created and not dropped before attempting to create it again.
  There is a naming conflict due to multiple deployments or migrations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Existing Procedure:
  
  Use SQL commands to check if the procedure already exists in the database. You can run a query like:
  SELECT * FROM _SYS_OBJECTS WHERE OBJECT_NAME = '<Procedure_Name>' AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE';
  
  Replace <Procedure_Name> with the actual name of the procedure you are trying to create.
  
  
  
  Drop the Existing Procedure (if applicable):
  
  If you determine that the existing procedure is no longer needed or is outdated, you can drop it using:
  DROP PROCEDURE <Procedure_Name>;
  
  Be cautious with this step, as dropping a procedure will remove it permanently.
  
  
  
  Modify the Existing Procedure:
  
  If the existing procedure is still relevant, consider modifying it instead of creating a new one. You can use the ALTER PROCEDURE statement to make changes.
  
  
  
  Rename the New Procedure:
  
  If you need to keep both procedures, consider renaming the new procedure to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  
  Check for Deployment Issues:
  
  If this error occurs during a deployment or migration, ensure that the deployment scripts are correctly handling existing objects.
