Cannot create tables using Spring boot in HANA HDI container without CDS artifact

Hi,

I have a basic spring boot application comprising of a Entity (called Topic) and a service that allows CRUD operations on it. I had deployed the application on SAP Cloud Platform - Neo and binded it with the Hana Classic Schema. Hibernate was able to execute DML statements i.e was successful in generating the table in schema.

Now, I tried deploying the same application to Cloud Foundry using HANA hdi containers. The application got deployed but the tables were not created . I checked the logs and it shows me that create operation could not be successful because of insufficient privileges. I do not have any CDS artifact in my project. Is that the reason ? Can we not create database objects via JPA/Hibernate without depending on hdb artifacts for HANA hdi containers ?

Attaching the code and logs below -

1. The logs show the following error -

1. application.properties - springdb is the name of the hana instance and springdatabase is the spring boot application

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
vcap.services.name=springdb
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=${vcap.services.${vcap.services.name}.credentials.driver}
spring.datasource.url=${vcap.services.${vcap.services.name}.credentials.url}
spring.datasource.username=${vcap.services.${vcap.services.name}.credentials.user}
spring.datasource.password=${vcap.services.${vcap.services.name}.credentials.password}

HANA Service -

2. The main class -

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.gson.GsonAutoConfiguration.class})
@ComponentScan("io.javabrains.*")
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = {"io.javabrains.*"})
@EntityScan("io.javabrains.*")
public class SpringDatabaseApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(SpringDatabaseApplication.class, args);
}
}

3. The pom. xml -

As you can see from the logs, it says that create operation failed. Why is it so ?
