SAP S/4HANA Error 362: Invalid SQL Schema Name
Description
This error indicates that a database operation within SAP S/4HANA failed because the specified SQL schema name does not exist or is inaccessible. It typically occurs when an application, report, or user attempts to reference a database schema that is either misspelled, not yet created, or beyond the scope of their current permissions.
Error Message
ERR_SQL_INV_SCHEMA
Known Causes
4 known causesTypographical Error
A simple misspelling in the schema name within an SQL statement, configuration file, or application code.
Schema Not Created
The database schema referenced by the operation has not been physically created in the underlying database system.
Application Configuration Mismatch
The SAP S/4HANA application or a connected component is configured with an incorrect or outdated schema name.
Insufficient User Privileges
The database user or role executing the operation lacks the necessary permissions to access the specified schema.
Solutions
3 solutions available1. Verify and Correct Schema Name in Application Configuration easy
Ensures the schema name used by the S/4HANA application matches the database configuration.
1
Identify the specific S/4HANA application or component that is encountering the error. This might be indicated in the transaction or program name where the error occurs.
2
Access the relevant configuration parameters for that application. This is often done through SAP transaction codes like `SM30` (Table Maintenance Generator) or by directly editing configuration files.
3
Locate the parameter that specifies the SQL schema name. This parameter's name can vary depending on the application, but common examples include `SCHEMA_NAME`, `DB_SCHEMA`, or similar.
4
Compare the configured schema name with the actual schema name in the SAP HANA database. You can verify the schema name in HANA using SQL.
SELECT SCHEMA_NAME FROM SYS.SCHEMAS WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = '<CONFIGURED_SCHEMA_NAME>';5
If the schema name in the application configuration is incorrect (e.g., a typo, missing prefix/suffix, or incorrect case if case-sensitive), correct it to match the actual schema name in the SAP HANA database. Ensure the case sensitivity of the schema name is respected.
6
Save the changes to the application configuration. Restart the affected application or service if necessary for the changes to take effect.
2. Check and Adjust Database User Privileges medium
Confirms the database user has the correct privileges to access the specified schema.
1
Identify the database user that the S/4HANA system or the specific application is using to connect to SAP HANA. This information is typically found in the SAP system's database connection configuration (e.g., in `DBCO` transaction or in the `hdbuserstore`).
2
Log in to the SAP HANA database using a system administrator or a user with sufficient privileges.
3
Verify the privileges assigned to the database user. The user needs at least `SELECT` and `INSERT` privileges on tables within the schema, and potentially `CREATE` and `ALTER` privileges if the application is creating or modifying objects. The `SEARCH` privilege is also often required for schema discovery.
SELECT * FROM SYS.GRANTED_ROLES WHERE GRANTEE = '<DB_USER>';
SELECT * FROM SYS.GRANTED_PRIVILEGES WHERE GRANTEE = '<DB_USER>';4
If the user lacks the necessary privileges for the schema, grant them. The `SEARCH` privilege on the schema is crucial for the system to be aware of the schema's existence.
GRANT SEARCH ON SCHEMA <SCHEMA_NAME> TO <DB_USER>;
GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA <SCHEMA_NAME> TO <DB_USER>;
GRANT INSERT ON SCHEMA <SCHEMA_NAME> TO <DB_USER>;5
Re-execute the operation that caused the error. If the issue was due to insufficient privileges, it should now be resolved.
3. Ensure Correct Schema Naming Convention and Case Sensitivity medium
Addresses potential issues arising from incorrect schema naming, including case sensitivity.
1
Consult the SAP S/4HANA installation or configuration guide for the recommended and expected schema naming conventions for your specific version and deployment type.
2
Verify the exact schema name in the SAP HANA database. SAP HANA is case-sensitive for schema names unless explicitly configured otherwise (which is rare for standard installations).
SELECT SCHEMA_NAME FROM SYS.SCHEMAS;3
Compare the schema name used in the S/4HANA application configuration (as identified in Solution 1) with the exact name returned by the `SYS.SCHEMAS` query. Pay close attention to capitalization.
4
If there's a mismatch in capitalization or a deviation from the standard naming convention (e.g., missing prefixes like `SAP_` or `SAPABAP1_`), correct the schema name in the application configuration or, if absolutely necessary and supported, consider renaming the schema in HANA (this is a more complex operation).
5
After making any necessary corrections, restart the relevant SAP application services or the entire S/4HANA instance to apply the changes.
