What causes this issue?

Multiple classes use the same provider ID inside of one logical system
or connection.

System Response

A provider ID has to be unique in the list of data provider
implementations that are correct for one ESH connection (for example, a
logical system). Otherwise, the conflicting implementations cannot be
used smoothly.

How to fix this error?

Change the provider ID of one of the involved implementations. A
possible provider ID could be the class name itself.

Procedure for System Administrators

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

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_DATA_PROVIDER006 - Class &1 and class &2 use the same provider ID &3 ?

  The SAP error message ESH_DATA_PROVIDER006 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration of data providers in the Enterprise Search (ESH) system. Specifically, it means that two different classes (denoted as &1 and &2) are trying to use the same provider ID (denoted as &3). This can lead to ambiguity in data retrieval and processing, as the system cannot determine which class should be associated with the provider ID.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that two different classes have been configured to use the same provider ID in the Enterprise Search settings.
  Incorrect Customization: If custom classes or providers have been created, there may have been an oversight in ensuring that each provider ID is unique.
  Transport Issues: If configurations were transported from one system to another, it’s possible that the same provider ID was inadvertently included in multiple classes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Classes: Check the configuration of the data providers in the ESH settings to identify which classes are using the same provider ID. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration transaction (e.g., EshAdmin or EshConfig).
  
  
  Modify Provider IDs: Once you have identified the conflicting classes, you will need to modify one of the classes to use a different, unique provider ID. This can typically be done in the configuration settings for the data provider.
  
  
  Check Custom Code: If you have custom implementations, review the code to ensure that no two classes are inadvertently set to use the same provider ID.
  
  
  Transport Management: If the issue arose due to transport, ensure that the transport requests are correctly configured and that no duplicate provider IDs are included.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data providers are functioning as expected.
