• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HDI555 - Logical schema &1 exists and is active ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HDI555 indicates that there is an issue related to the logical schema in the SAP HANA database. Specifically, it means that the logical schema you are trying to create or modify already exists and is currently active.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Logical Schema: The logical schema you are attempting to create already exists in the system.
  Active Status: The existing logical schema is active, which means it is currently in use and cannot be redefined or recreated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Logical Schema:
  
  Use the SAP HANA Studio or the SAP HANA Database Explorer to check if the logical schema already exists.
  You can run a SQL query to list the existing logical schemas:
  SELECT * FROM _SYS_BIC."sap.hana.1.0/SCHEMA_NAME";
  
  
  
  
  Use Existing Schema:
  
  If the logical schema already exists and is active, consider using it instead of trying to create a new one. Update your application or configuration to reference the existing schema.
  
  
  
  Deactivate or Drop the Existing Schema:
  
  If you need to create a new logical schema with the same name, you may need to deactivate or drop the existing one. Be cautious with this approach, as it may affect any applications or processes that rely on the existing schema.
  To drop the schema, you can use:
  DROP SCHEMA SCHEMA_NAME CASCADE;
  
  Ensure you have the necessary permissions and that you understand the implications of dropping the schema.
  
  
  
  Rename the New Schema:
  
  If you cannot drop the existing schema and still need to create a new one, consider renaming the new schema to avoid the conflict.
