• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_DB021 - Consolidation after system-/ client-copy missing ?

  The SAP error message ESH_DB021, which indicates "Consolidation after system-/client-copy missing," typically arises in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search (ESH) framework. This error occurs when the necessary data consolidation processes have not been executed after performing a system or client copy. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  System/Client Copy: When a system or client copy is performed, the data structures and configurations are duplicated, but the search index and related data may not be automatically updated or consolidated.
  Missing Indexing: The search index that supports the ESH functionality may not have been rebuilt or updated post-copy, leading to inconsistencies.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that need to be adjusted or re-applied after the copy.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ESH_DB021 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Run the ESH Indexing Jobs:
  
  Navigate to the transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE or /IWFND/SEARCH to access the ESH configuration.
  Execute the relevant indexing jobs to rebuild the search index. This can typically be done through the transaction SWF_RUN or by using the ESH administration tools.
  
  
  
  Check the ESH Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the ESH configuration is correctly set up. This includes checking the settings for the search connectors and ensuring that they are active.
  Use transaction SE80 or SE11 to review the relevant database tables and structures.
  
  
  
  Perform a Full Data Refresh:
  
  If the issue persists, consider performing a full data refresh for the ESH. This can be done through the ESH administration interface or by executing specific background jobs designed for this purpose.
  
  
  
  Review Logs and Traces:
  
  Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context on the issue.
  Look for any relevant traces that could indicate what went wrong during the indexing process.
