• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_CA_CACHE033 - Algorithm &1 does not support limited entries ?

  The SAP error message ESH_CA_CACHE033 indicates that the algorithm specified in your SAP system does not support the use of limited entries in the context of the Enterprise Search (ESH) Cache. This typically occurs when you are trying to execute a search query that is configured to limit the number of results returned, but the algorithm you are using does not support this feature.
  Cause:
  
  Algorithm Limitation: The algorithm you are using for the search does not have the capability to handle limited entries. This can happen if the algorithm is designed for full result sets or if it is not optimized for pagination or limiting results.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the search settings or the algorithm selection in the ESH configuration.
  Version Compatibility: The version of the algorithm or the ESH component you are using may not support the feature you are trying to implement.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change the Algorithm: Review the algorithms available in your SAP system and select one that supports limited entries. You can do this in the ESH configuration settings.
  Adjust Search Settings: If changing the algorithm is not feasible, consider adjusting your search settings to remove the limitation on the number of entries returned.
  Check Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific algorithms you are using to understand their capabilities and limitations.
  Update SAP System: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date, as newer versions may have improved algorithms that support limited entries.
  Consult SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide guidance based on your specific configuration and version.
