• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HDI074 - Container contains &1 inactive objects and cannot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HDI074 indicates that you are trying to delete a container in the SAP HANA database that contains inactive objects. Inactive objects can include things like tables, views, or other database artifacts that are not currently active or in use.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the container you are attempting to delete has one or more inactive objects. SAP HANA does not allow the deletion of containers that still hold inactive objects to prevent data loss or integrity issues.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify Inactive Objects: 
  
  Use the SAP HANA Studio or the SAP HANA Database Explorer to check the contents of the container. Look for any inactive objects that may be present.
  
  
  
  Activate or Delete Inactive Objects:
  
  If the inactive objects are no longer needed, you can delete them. 
  If you need the objects, you can activate them. This can typically be done through the development environment or by using SQL commands.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies: 
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies on the inactive objects that might prevent their deletion or activation.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion: 
  
  Once all inactive objects have been either activated or deleted, you can attempt to delete the container again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP HANA Studio: This is a development environment that allows you to manage your HANA database, including viewing and managing database objects.
  SQL Commands: You can use SQL commands to check for inactive objects. For example, you can query the OBJECTS system view to find inactive objects in a specific container.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP HANA documentation for more details on managing containers and objects within the database.
  
  Example SQL Query:
  To find inactive objects in a specific container, you can use a query like the following:
  SELECT * FROM _SYS_BI.M_OBJECTS WHERE CONTAINER_NAME = '<Your_Container_Name>' AND IS_ACTIVE = 'FALSE';
  Replace <Your_Container_Name> with the name of your container.
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SCTS_HDI074 error and successfully delete the container.
