System Response

A deployment is already running for the SAP HANA package with the ABAP
transport object name &V1& and/or at least one of its objects.

How to fix this error?

Restart the deployment later.
Before you restart the deployment later on, you should check if the
package or the objects, which you want to deploy, have already been
deployed in the meantime.
You can do this by using transaction SCTS_HTA_DEPLOY. If the
package/object with the green status is displayed as <ZK>Package/object
is deployed</>, you do not need to deploy it again. If the
package/object with the yellow status is displayed as <ZK>package/object
is not deployed</>, this means that the version in the HTA Repository
has not been deployed to the SAP HANA Repository and you can start a
deployment.
