Unable to delete a package

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am new to HANA and I am practicing some tutorials. I have created a package in the 'Systems' view in the Developer Perspective. However, when I delete that package from the context menu, I get an error message like the one in the image below.

However, to me this package looks empty. I have even checked the SYS_REP package tables 'ACTIVATED_OBJECTS' and 'INACTIVATED_OBJECTS" and I could not find any such files there.

I executed the below SQL commands:

SELECT  * FROM "_SYS_REPO"."ACTIVE_OBJECT" where PACKAGE_ID = 'ajith.demos.HWX_WS.Demos'

SELECT  * FROM "_SYS_REPO"."INACTIVE_OBJECT" where PACKAGE_ID = 'ajith.demos.HWX_WS.Demos'

but they are not returning any values.

Can some one guide me as to how to safely delete such packages?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have resolved this issue by following the steps in the following link.

- I tried deleting them through the Web Based IDE first. However, there were still a previous Workspace related file which could not be deleted.

- I then recreated a workspace with the same name and checked it out and deleted from the project explorer and from repository and it worked!!!

Hi Krishna,

I think the way the package is deleted in that thread is not recommended (as explained the comment section of that document).
