• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HDI076 - Container already exists in HDI as &1 (no deployment required) ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HDI076 indicates that a container you are trying to deploy already exists in the HANA Deployment Infrastructure (HDI) and that no deployment is required because the container is already present. This typically occurs during the deployment of a database module in an SAP HANA environment.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an attempt to deploy a container (which can be a database schema or a similar object) that already exists in the HDI. This can happen if:
  
  The deployment process is being executed multiple times without changes.
  The container was created manually or by a previous deployment.
  There is a mismatch between the expected state of the container and the actual state in the HDI.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Existing Container: 
  
  Use the SAP HANA Database Explorer or a similar tool to check if the container already exists. You can query the HDI containers to see their current state.
  
  
  
  Review Deployment Changes:
  
  Ensure that there are actual changes to be deployed. If there are no changes, you may not need to redeploy.
  
  
  
  Delete the Existing Container (if appropriate):
  
  If you determine that the existing container is not needed or is in an incorrect state, you can delete it. Be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data loss if the container holds important data.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Deployment Command:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct deployment command and parameters. Sometimes, using the wrong flags can lead to this error.
  
  
  
  Check for Versioning:
  
  If you are using versioning in your HDI containers, ensure that you are deploying the correct version.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for HDI and the specific deployment process you are using. There may be additional context or steps that are relevant to your situation.
