  The SAP error message ESH_FL_MSG151, which states "There were no ongoing tasks," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search or the SAP NetWeaver Search functionality. This message indicates that there are no active or ongoing tasks related to the search or indexing process.
  Cause:
  
  No Active Indexing Jobs: The error may arise if there are no current indexing jobs running in the background. This can happen if the indexing process has not been initiated or if it has completed successfully without any errors.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the search settings or the search connector that prevent tasks from being initiated.
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load or if there are performance issues, it may not be able to initiate or display ongoing tasks.

  Check Indexing Jobs: Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SM37 for job monitoring) to check if there are any indexing jobs running. If not, you may need to start the indexing process manually.

  Review Configuration: Ensure that the search configuration is correctly set up. Check the settings for the search connector and ensure that all necessary components are properly configured.
  Check User Permissions: Verify that the user has the appropriate authorizations to view and manage search tasks. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to ensure the correct roles are assigned.
