• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HDI087 - Inactive version of object in HTA Repository (activate/delete it first) ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HDI087 indicates that there is an inactive version of an object in the HANA Deployment Infrastructure (HDI) repository. This typically occurs when you are trying to activate or deploy an object (like a table, view, or procedure) that has an inactive version already present in the repository.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Object Version: The object you are trying to activate has a previous version that is not active. HDI does not allow you to activate a new version of an object if there is an inactive version present.
  Deployment Issues: This can happen during a deployment process where changes are made to the object, but the previous version was not properly deleted or activated.
  Version Control: HDI uses version control for database objects, and if an object is not in an active state, it cannot be modified or activated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to either activate or delete the inactive version of the object in the HDI repository. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Check the Object Status:
  
  Use the SAP HANA Database Explorer or the appropriate HDI tools to check the status of the object in question.
  Identify the inactive version of the object.
  
  
  
  Activate the Inactive Version:
  
  If the inactive version is still valid and you want to keep it, you can activate it. This can usually be done through the SAP HANA Database Explorer or using SQL commands.
  Example SQL command to activate an object:
  ALTER <object_type> <object_name> ACTIVATE;
  
  
  
  
  Delete the Inactive Version:
  
  If the inactive version is no longer needed, you can delete it. Again, this can be done through the SAP HANA Database Explorer or using SQL commands.
  Example SQL command to drop an object:
  DROP <object_type> <object_name>;
  
  
  
  
  Re-deploy the Object:
  
  After activating or deleting the inactive version, you can proceed to deploy or activate the new version of the object.
