How To Fix ESH_CHECK_CONN081 - Model &2 has model &1 as successor. It could be replaced in the Fiori UI

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ESH_CHECK_CONN - Check connector consistency

• Message number: 081

• Message text: Model &2 has model &1 as successor. It could be replaced in the Fiori UI

What causes this issue?

The model &v2& of the connector that is just being checked (original
search connector) has the model &v1& as successor model.
It is therefore possible that this connector (the original one) will be
unavailable for search in the Fiori Search UI.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

If a connector for the successor model is available, active and
searchable, the search for the corresponding business object will be
executed on the successor model instead of the original one. In this
case the original connector is not offered any more for the search in
the Fiori Search UI.
The original connector will be also unavailable for search in the Fiori
Search UI if the successor connector is active and searchable, but you
do not have the authorizations to access the successor. In this case you
can neither select the original nor the successor connector in the Fiori
Search UI.
Other search applications, including the ESH Test Search report
(ESH_TEST_SEARCH), and all application searches via the public ESH
Search API, can use both search connectors, the original and the
successor. In these applications, the original connector will not be
replaced by the successor.

  Update Your Configuration: If the successor model is available and suitable for your needs, update your configuration to use the successor model instead of the obsolete one.
  Adjust Fiori UI Settings: If you are using the Fiori UI, ensure that it is configured to utilize the successor model. This may involve updating the Fiori app settings or the underlying OData services.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional guidance on handling model transitions or updates.
