• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDSVAL_ES053 - 'snippets.maximumLength' above &1 is ignored (&2) ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDSVAL_ES053 indicates that a value provided for a certain field exceeds the maximum length allowed for that field in the context of the SAP system, particularly in the context of the Enterprise Search (ESH) or Core Data Services (CDS) views.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  A value being processed exceeds the defined maximum length for a specific field (denoted by snippets.maximumLength).
  The system is set to ignore values that exceed this length, which is why the message indicates that the value is ignored.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Field Lengths: Review the field definitions in the CDS view or the relevant data model to determine the maximum length allowed for the field in question. This can usually be found in the data dictionary or the CDS view definition.
  
  
  Adjust Input Values: Ensure that the values being passed to the field do not exceed the maximum length. You may need to truncate or modify the input data accordingly.
  
  
  Modify Configuration: If the maximum length is too restrictive for your use case, consider modifying the CDS view or the underlying data model to increase the maximum length of the field, if feasible.
  
  
  Review Snippet Settings: If the error is related to snippets in the search results, check the configuration settings for snippets in the ESH settings. You may need to adjust the snippets.maximumLength parameter to allow for longer values, if appropriate.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the input again to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the values are processed correctly.
