• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HDI564 - HDI containers that reference HDI container to delete &1: ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HDI564 indicates that there are HDI (HANA Deployment Infrastructure) containers that reference another HDI container that you are trying to delete. This situation typically arises when there are dependencies between HDI containers, meaning that one container relies on objects or resources from another container.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  You are attempting to delete an HDI container that is still being referenced by other HDI containers.
  There are dependent objects (like tables, views, or procedures) in other containers that rely on the container you are trying to delete.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Use the SAP HANA database tools or SQL commands to identify which HDI containers are referencing the container you want to delete. You can check the dependencies using the hdi:info command or by querying the system views that track dependencies.
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  Once you have identified the dependent HDI containers, you will need to either:
  
  Remove the references in the dependent containers (e.g., drop the dependent objects).
  Modify the dependent containers to no longer rely on the container you want to delete.
  
  
  
  
  
  Delete the Container:
  
  After ensuring that there are no remaining references to the HDI container you wish to delete, you can proceed with the deletion.
  
  
  
  Check for Orphaned Objects:
  
  After deletion, it’s a good practice to check for any orphaned objects or dependencies that may need to be cleaned up.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  HDI Container Management: Familiarize yourself with HDI container management commands and best practices. The SAP HANA documentation provides detailed information on managing HDI containers.
  SAP HANA Studio or Web IDE: Use these tools to visually manage your HDI containers and their dependencies.
  Backup: Always ensure you have backups of your data and objects before performing deletion operations, as these actions can be irreversible.
  
  If you continue to face issues or if the dependencies are complex, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for further assistance.
