• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HDI263 - Import of HDI objects for & skipped; request only contains translations ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HDI263 indicates that an import request for HDI (HANA Deployment Infrastructure) objects was skipped because the request only contains translations. This typically occurs when you attempt to import a request that does not have any actual changes to the HDI objects, but only includes translations (e.g., language-specific text).
  Cause:
  
  Empty or Translation-Only Request: The import request you are trying to execute contains only translation changes and no actual changes to the HDI objects themselves.
  Incorrect Request Type: The request may have been incorrectly generated or selected, leading to a situation where it only includes translations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Request Contents: Review the contents of the import request to confirm that it only contains translations. You can do this by examining the request in the transport management system (TMS) or HDI container.
  Create a New Request: If you need to import actual changes to HDI objects, ensure that you create a new transport request that includes the necessary changes, not just translations.
  Use the Correct Transport Request: Make sure you are using the correct transport request that contains the HDI objects you want to import. If you only need translations, you can handle them separately.
  Ignore the Message: If the translations are the only changes you need, you can choose to ignore this message and proceed with the translation import if that is your intention.
  
  Related Information:
  
  HDI Objects: HDI objects include database artifacts such as tables, views, procedures, and other database-related items that are managed within the SAP HANA environment.
  Transport Management: SAP uses a transport management system to manage the movement of changes between different environments (development, quality assurance, production).
  Translations in SAP: Translations are often handled separately from the main object changes and can be imported independently.
