How To Fix COM_SE_SEARCH013 - The business object &2 &3 is currently being indexed by user &1

COM_SE_SEARCH013 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: COM_SE_SEARCH - SES: End user messages -> Translate to maximum languages

• Message number: 013

• Message text: The business object &2 &3 is currently being indexed by user &1

What causes this issue?

An indexing is already running under the user name &V1& for the same
business object &V2& and the same object type &V3&.

System Response

The system prevents the same index being indexed by more than one
independent program simultaneously. This is to avoid the unnecessary use
of system resources.

How to fix this error?

The following cases are normal:
The indexing program is usually planned as a periodic job. If you start
it manually as well, there may already be another job running.
If the job for the indexing program is planned with very short intervals
between the recurrences, there may be an overlap of two jobs.
Both of these cases are not critical, because the index in question is
already being indexed and the system is just preventing an additional,
unnecessary use of system resources.

Procedure for System Administrators

The check described above is implemented using a normal enqueue
mechanism. Errors or uncontrolled cancellations may lead to locks not
being automatically unlocked.
While the deletion of lock entries in transaction SM12 is normally a
critical operation, as it can lead to data inconsistencies, it is no
problem to delete the locks in this case. The lock object is called
E_COM_SE_INDEXER.
