• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SNHI_ADT001 - HANA Transport Container &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message SNHI_ADT001 indicates that a HANA Transport Container with the specified identifier already exists. This error typically occurs during the transport of HANA objects when the system detects that a transport container with the same name or ID is already present in the target system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Transport Container: The most common cause is that a transport container with the same name or ID has already been created in the target system. This can happen if a previous transport was not completed successfully or if multiple transports are being executed simultaneously.
  Incomplete Transport: If a transport was interrupted or failed, it might leave behind a container that prevents new transports from being created with the same identifier.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the transport management system that lead to conflicts in container creation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Transport Containers: 
  
  Use the HANA Studio or HANA Cockpit to check for existing transport containers. You can look for the container with the specified ID and see its status.
  If the container is not needed, you can delete it or clear it if it is in an incomplete state.
  
  
  
  Delete or Clear the Existing Container:
  
  If you determine that the existing transport container is not needed, you can delete it using the appropriate tools in HANA Studio or through SQL commands.
  If the container is in an incomplete state, you may need to clear it before proceeding with the new transport.
  
  
  
  Retry the Transport: After resolving the issue with the existing transport container, you can retry the transport operation.
  
  
  Check Transport Logs: Review the transport logs for any additional errors or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
