Solutions

4 solutions available

1. Verify SQLScript Function Existence and Schema easy

Confirm that the SQLScript function exists in the correct schema and is accessible.

1

Log in to your SAP HANA database using a client tool like SAP HANA Studio or DBeaver.

2

Execute a query to check for the existence of the function in the relevant schema. Replace `YOUR_SCHEMA` and `YOUR_FUNCTION_NAME` with the actual schema and function name.

SELECT * FROM "_SYS_REPO"."REPOS_OBJECT" WHERE OBJECT_NAME = 'YOUR_FUNCTION_NAME' AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'FUNCTION' AND SCHEMA_NAME = 'YOUR_SCHEMA';

3

If the function is not found, it might be in a different schema or not deployed. If it's found, ensure the user executing the query has the necessary privileges to access the function.

2. Re-deploy SQLScript Function from SAP HANA Repository medium

Re-deploy the SQLScript function from the SAP HANA repository to ensure it's correctly registered.

1

Identify the development object (e.g., a Calculation View, Procedure) that contains or calls the missing SQLScript function. This is typically done within SAP HANA Development Tools for Eclipse (or equivalent tools).

2

In your development environment, locate the SQLScript function object or the object that uses it.

3

Right-click on the object and select 'Deploy'. This will send the function definition to the SAP HANA database.

4

After deployment, re-run the operation that triggered the error to confirm the function is now recognized.

3. Check SAP Note for Known Issues and Corrections medium

Search for relevant SAP Notes that address error 2818 or related SQLScript function issues in your S/4HANA version.

1

Go to the SAP Support Portal (launchpad.support.sap.com).

2

Navigate to 'SAP Notes and KBA' and search for '2818' and 'SQLScript Function Not Found'.

3

Filter search results by your SAP S/4HANA version and database (SAP HANA).

4

Review the found SAP Notes for any known bugs, prerequisites, or correction instructions. Apply any relevant patches or updates if recommended.

4. Grant Execute Privileges on the SQLScript Function easy

Ensure the user or role executing the statement has explicit 'EXECUTE' privileges on the SQLScript function.

1

Log in to your SAP HANA database with administrative privileges.

2

Execute the following SQL statement to grant execute privileges. Replace `YOUR_USER_OR_ROLE`, `YOUR_SCHEMA`, and `YOUR_FUNCTION_NAME` accordingly.

GRANT EXECUTE ON SCHEMA YOUR_SCHEMA TO YOUR_USER_OR_ROLE;

3

Alternatively, if you need to grant privileges on a specific function, use:

GRANT EXECUTE ON "YOUR_SCHEMA"."YOUR_FUNCTION_NAME" TO YOUR_USER_OR_ROLE;

4

If the function is part of a view or procedure, ensure the privileges are granted to the user executing that view or procedure.
