• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HDI504 - Logical HDI container &1 exists and is active ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HDI504 indicates that there is an attempt to create a new HDI (HANA Deployment Infrastructure) container with a name that already exists and is currently active. This error typically occurs when you are trying to deploy a new version of an application or a database model that references an HDI container that is already in use.
  Cause:
  
  Existing HDI Container: The specified HDI container already exists in the system and is active.
  Deployment Conflict: You may be trying to deploy a new version of an application or model that conflicts with the existing container.
  Naming Conflict: The name of the HDI container you are trying to create is the same as an existing one.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Containers: Use the SAP HANA database tools or the SAP HANA cockpit to check for existing HDI containers. You can list all HDI containers to see if the one you are trying to create already exists.
  
  
  Use a Different Name: If you are trying to create a new HDI container, consider using a different name that does not conflict with existing containers.
  
  
  Delete or Rename Existing Container: If the existing HDI container is no longer needed, you can delete it or rename it. Be cautious with this approach, as it may affect other applications or services that depend on that container.
  
  
  Deploy to Existing Container: If the existing container is the one you want to update, you can deploy your changes to that container instead of trying to create a new one.
  
  
  Check for Active Connections: Ensure that there are no active connections or transactions that might be locking the HDI container, which could prevent modifications.
