• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HDI552 - Logical database schema &1 exists but is inactive ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HDI552 indicates that there is a logical database schema that exists but is currently inactive. This can occur in the context of SAP HANA database development, particularly when working with HDI (HANA Deployment Infrastructure) containers.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Inactive Schema: The logical database schema has been created but has not been activated. This can happen if the schema was created but the activation process was not completed successfully.
  Development Environment Issues: There may be issues in the development environment or configuration that prevent the schema from being activated.
  Dependency Issues: There may be dependencies or other objects that need to be activated before the logical database schema can be activated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Activate the Schema:
  
  Go to the SAP HANA Studio or the relevant development environment.
  Locate the logical database schema that is inactive.
  Right-click on the schema and select the option to activate it. This should compile and activate the schema.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all dependent objects (like tables, views, etc.) are also activated. If there are any dependencies that are not activated, activate them first.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  Check the activation logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the schema is inactive. This can provide insights into what might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Schema:
