  The SAP error message ESH_CHECK_CONN098 indicates that a consistency check is being attempted on a connector that is not a local connector. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Enterprise Search (SAP ESH) when the system is trying to perform a consistency check on a connector that is either remote or not configured to support such checks.
  Cause:

  System Limitations: Some connectors inherently do not support consistency checks due to their design or the nature of the data they handle.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Connector Type: Verify that the connector you are trying to check is indeed a local connector. If it is a remote connector, you will not be able to perform a consistency check.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the connector is properly configured. Check the settings in the SAP system to confirm that all necessary parameters are set correctly.
  Use Supported Connectors: If you need to perform a consistency check, consider using a local connector that supports this feature.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific connector you are using to understand its capabilities and limitations regarding consistency checks.
