• Message class: ESH_ENG_CDSVAL_ES - ES-CDS/ABAP: Validation of domain @EnterpriseSearch

• Message number: 056

• Message text: 'configurationSet' &1 does not exist (&2)

What causes this issue?

Enterprise Search Configuration Set &V1& which is to be assigned to the
element via @EnterpriseSearch.configurationSet does not exist.

System Response

Enterprise Search Configuration Sets - in contrast to the CDS-definition
- are client-specific. Hence the situation may occur that a
Configuration Set exists in one client but not in another. Configuration
Sets not existing in the respective client will be ignored at search
runtime.

How to fix this error?

Check the Configuration Set for typographical errors, or remove the
annotation with the erroneous Configuration Set.
If the Configuration Set in question does exist, but in a different
client, or further up in the software component stack, nothing needs to
be done.
