• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_CHECK024 - Procedure exists ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_CHECK024 typically indicates that a procedure already exists in the HANA database when you are trying to create or activate a new procedure. This can occur during the process of migrating or replicating data models from SAP BW to SAP HANA or when working with HANA database procedures in general.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an attempt to create a procedure that has the same name as an existing procedure in the HANA database. This can happen if:
  
  The procedure was previously created and not dropped.
  There is a naming conflict due to similar procedures in different schemas.
  The procedure was not properly deleted or was left over from a previous deployment.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS2HANA_CHECK024 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Procedures:
  
  Use the HANA Studio or SQL console to check if the procedure already exists. You can run a query like:
  SELECT * FROM _SYS_BIC."<schema_name>/<procedure_name>";
  
  Replace <schema_name> and <procedure_name> with the appropriate values.
  
  
  
  Drop the Existing Procedure:
  
  If you confirm that the procedure exists and you want to replace it, you can drop the existing procedure using:
  DROP PROCEDURE <schema_name>.<procedure_name>;
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to drop the procedure.
  
  
  
  Rename the New Procedure:
  
  If you do not want to drop the existing procedure, consider renaming the new procedure you are trying to create to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Before dropping a procedure, check if there are any dependencies or references to it in other objects. Dropping a procedure that is in use can lead to further issues.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Object:
  
  After resolving the conflict, try to re-activate or create the procedure again.
