• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_CU_SEM029 - Stop-Word List ID has to be indicated ?

  The SAP error message ESH_CU_SEM029 indicates that a Stop-Word List ID must be specified in the context of using the SAP Enterprise Search (SAP ESH) functionality. This error typically arises when you are trying to configure or execute a search that requires a stop-word list, but the system does not have a valid Stop-Word List ID provided.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Stop-Word List ID: The configuration for the search does not include a Stop-Word List ID, which is necessary for filtering out common words that do not add value to the search results.
  Incorrect Configuration: The search configuration may be incomplete or incorrectly set up, leading to the absence of a valid Stop-Word List ID.
  System Settings: The system may not have a default Stop-Word List configured, or the list may not be activated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP ESH configuration settings.
  Ensure that a valid Stop-Word List ID is specified in the relevant search configuration.
  
  
  
  Create or Activate Stop-Word List:
  
  If a Stop-Word List does not exist, you may need to create one. This can typically be done in the SAP system under the relevant configuration area for search.
  If a Stop-Word List exists but is not activated, ensure that it is activated and properly linked to the search configuration.
  
  
  
  Assign Stop-Word List:
  
  In the search configuration, explicitly assign the Stop-Word List ID to the search settings. This may involve navigating to the specific search connector or search model and updating the settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the search functionality to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the search results are as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Stop-Word Lists: These are lists of common words (like "and", "the", "is") that are typically excluded from search queries to improve the relevance of search results.
  SAP ESH Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Enterprise Search for detailed instructions on configuring search settings, including Stop-Word Lists.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide updates related to this error message.
