• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HDI704 - Cannot save (HDI object was deleted by transport request import) ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HDI704 indicates that an HDI (HANA Deployment Infrastructure) object cannot be saved because it has been deleted by a transport request import. This typically occurs in environments where HDI objects are managed through transport requests, and the object in question has been removed or is no longer available in the current context.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Request Import: The error usually arises when a transport request that includes changes to HDI objects is imported into the system, and during this process, the specific HDI object has been deleted or is no longer valid.
  Object State: The object might have been deleted in the source system or marked for deletion in the transport request, leading to its unavailability in the target system.
  Version Mismatch: There may be a version mismatch between the HDI container in the source and target systems, causing the object to be missing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request: Review the transport request that was recently imported to see if the HDI object was indeed deleted. You can do this by checking the transport logs or the contents of the transport request.
  Recreate the Object: If the object is essential and has been deleted, you may need to recreate it manually in the HDI container. Ensure that you have the necessary definitions and configurations to do so.
  Restore from Backup: If possible, restore the HDI object from a backup or a previous version if it was deleted unintentionally.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies on the deleted object that might affect other objects or processes in your application.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for specific guidelines on handling HDI objects and transport requests, as there may be additional steps or considerations based on your specific SAP HANA version and setup.
