ESH_DB041 - Details

• The SAP error message ESH_DB041 with the description "CDS-only search mandatory" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Enterprise Search or SAP HANA when a search operation is being executed that requires the use of Core Data Services (CDS) views, but the system is not configured to use them properly.
  
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The system may not be configured to use CDS views for the search operation. This can happen if the search is set to use a different data source or if the necessary CDS views are not activated.
  Search Settings: The search settings in the SAP system may not be aligned with the requirements for using CDS views.
  Missing Authorization: The user executing the search may not have the necessary authorizations to access the CDS views.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the search configuration is set to use CDS views. This can typically be done in the SAP Fiori Launchpad or the relevant configuration transaction.
