  The SAP error message ESH_HANA_ADMIN023: Changes could not be committed typically occurs in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search (ESH) or when working with SAP HANA databases. This error indicates that there was an issue when trying to commit changes to the database, which could be due to various reasons.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Database Locking Issues: Another transaction might be holding a lock on the database objects that you are trying to modify.
  Insufficient Privileges: The user executing the operation may not have the necessary permissions to commit changes to the database.
  Transaction Errors: There may be errors in the transaction that prevent it from being committed, such as data integrity violations or constraint violations.
  Resource Limitations: The database might be running out of resources (e.g., memory, disk space) which can prevent changes from being committed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the SAP HANA system or the ESH setup that are causing the commit to fail.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Locks: Use the SAP HANA Studio or SQL commands to check for locks on the database objects. You can use the SELECT * FROM M_LOCKS to identify any locks and resolve them.
