• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_HANA_ADMIN046 - Attempt to rename table or view &1 to a name not in ESH namespace ?

  The SAP error message ESH_HANA_ADMIN046 indicates that there is an attempt to rename a table or view to a name that does not conform to the expected naming conventions or namespace for the Enterprise Search (ESH) in SAP HANA. This error typically arises when the naming conventions for objects in the ESH namespace are not followed.
  Cause:
  
  Namespace Violation: The name you are trying to use for the table or view does not start with the required namespace prefix for ESH objects. In SAP, certain objects must adhere to specific naming conventions to ensure they are recognized and managed correctly within the system.
  Incorrect Object Type: The object you are trying to rename may not be a valid table or view that can be renamed in the context of ESH.
  Existing Object Conflict: There may already be an object with the name you are trying to use, which could lead to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Naming Conventions: Ensure that the new name you are trying to assign to the table or view starts with the appropriate namespace prefix for ESH objects. Typically, ESH objects should start with a specific prefix defined by your organization or SAP.
  Use Valid Names: Make sure that the name you are trying to use does not contain any invalid characters and adheres to the naming rules set by SAP.
  Verify Object Type: Confirm that the object you are trying to rename is indeed a table or view that can be renamed in the ESH context.
  Check for Existing Objects: Before renaming, check if there is already an object with the desired name. If so, you may need to choose a different name or drop the existing object if it is no longer needed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for Enterprise Search and HANA to understand the specific naming conventions and requirements.
