• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HTA_HDI_ADT001 - Creation not allowed if underlying DB is not HANA ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HTA_HDI_ADT001 indicates that the creation of a specific object (likely a HDI container or related artifacts) is not allowed because the underlying database is not SAP HANA. This error typically arises in the context of SAP HANA development and deployment, particularly when using the SAP HANA Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse or similar environments.
  Cause:
  
  Database Compatibility: The error occurs because the operation you are trying to perform is specific to SAP HANA and cannot be executed on other database systems. HDI (HANA Deployment Infrastructure) is designed to work exclusively with SAP HANA databases.
  Incorrect Database Configuration: If your project or environment is configured to use a non-HANA database (like Oracle, SQL Server, etc.), you will encounter this error when trying to create HDI artifacts.
  Development Environment: If you are using a development environment that is not connected to an SAP HANA database, you will not be able to create HDI containers or related objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use SAP HANA Database: Ensure that you are connected to an SAP HANA database. If you are working in a multi-database environment, switch your connection to an SAP HANA instance.
  Check Project Configuration: Verify the configuration of your project in the development environment. Make sure that it is set up to target an SAP HANA database.
  Create HDI Container: If you need to create HDI artifacts, ensure that you have the necessary permissions and that the HDI container is created in an SAP HANA database.
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP HANA documentation for guidelines on setting up HDI containers and the requirements for using HDI in your development environment.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP HANA Development Tools: Familiarize yourself with the SAP HANA Development Tools and how they interact with HDI.
  HDI Containers: Understand the concept of HDI containers, which are used to manage database artifacts in SAP HANA.
