• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT572 - Full Text Index &-&: Token separator does not contain ASCII char. only ?

  The SAP error message DT572 indicates an issue with the full-text index, specifically related to token separators that do not contain only ASCII characters. This error typically arises when the system encounters non-ASCII characters in the token separator configuration, which can lead to problems in text processing and indexing.
  Cause:
  
  Non-ASCII Characters: The token separator defined in the full-text index configuration includes characters that are not part of the ASCII character set. This can happen if the configuration was modified or if the data being indexed contains special characters.
  Incorrect Configuration: The full-text index settings may have been incorrectly configured, leading to the inclusion of invalid characters.
  Data Issues: The data being indexed may contain unexpected characters that are not handled properly by the current configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Token Separator Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings for the full-text index in your SAP system.

  Remove any non-ASCII characters from the token separator list.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data:
  
  If the data being indexed contains non-ASCII characters, consider cleaning or transforming the data to ensure compatibility with the full-text indexing process.
  You may need to preprocess the data to remove or replace non-ASCII characters before indexing.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Full-Text Index:
  
  After making changes to the token separator configuration or the data, you may need to rebuild the full-text index to apply the changes.
  Use the appropriate transaction or program in SAP to trigger the rebuild of the full-text index.
