• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_DB_DB2016 - Object &1 already exists in accelerator &2, parent folder: &3 ?

  The SAP error message RS_DB_DB2016 indicates that there is an attempt to create an object (like a query or a data model) in the SAP HANA database accelerator that already exists. The message provides details about the object in question, the accelerator it is associated with, and the parent folder where it is located.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to create an object (e.g., a calculation view, analytic view, or any other database object) that has the same name as an existing object in the specified accelerator.
  There may be a naming conflict due to a previous creation of the object that was not properly deleted or was left in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Existing Objects:
  
  Use the SAP HANA Studio or the relevant database management tool to check if the object already exists in the specified accelerator and parent folder.
  You can run a query to list the objects in the accelerator to confirm its existence.
  
  
  
  Rename the New Object:
  
  If you are trying to create a new object, consider renaming it to avoid the conflict with the existing object.
  
  
  
  Delete the Existing Object:
  
  If the existing object is no longer needed, you can delete it. Make sure to back up any necessary data or configurations before deletion.
  Use the appropriate SQL command or the graphical interface in SAP HANA Studio to drop the object.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that the existing object is not being used by other objects or processes. If it is, you may need to address those dependencies before deletion.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance related to the type of object you are working with.
