• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_HANA_ADMIN055 - Fulltext index for attribute &3 on HDB table &1.&2 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message ESH_HANA_ADMIN055 indicates that a full-text index for a specified attribute on a specified HANA database table does not exist. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Enterprise Search or when working with HANA database tables that are expected to have full-text search capabilities.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Full-Text Index: The primary cause of this error is that the full-text index for the specified attribute on the specified HANA table has not been created. This can happen if the index was never created, was deleted, or if there was an issue during the index creation process.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the Enterprise Search settings or in the HANA database that prevent the index from being recognized or created.
  Database Changes: Changes to the database schema or attributes may have occurred, leading to inconsistencies in the expected indexes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create the Full-Text Index:
  
  You can create the full-text index manually using SQL commands in the HANA database. The syntax generally looks like this:
  CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX <index_name> ON <schema_name>.<table_name> (<column_name>);
  
  Replace <index_name>, <schema_name>, <table_name>, and <column_name> with the appropriate values for your scenario.
  
  
  
  Check Index Status:
  
  Use the HANA Studio or SQL commands to check if the index exists or if there are any issues with existing indexes.
  You can query the system tables to see the existing indexes:
  SELECT * FROM _SYS_BI.M_INDEXES WHERE TABLE_NAME = '<table_name>';
  
  
  
  
  Reconfigure Enterprise Search:
  
  If the index is supposed to be created automatically by the Enterprise Search configuration, ensure that the configuration is correct and that the relevant data sources are properly set up.
  You may need to re-index the data in the Enterprise Search settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for Enterprise Search and HANA database for specific instructions on managing full-text indexes.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors in Logs:
  
  Review the logs for any errors that occurred during the index creation process or during the configuration of the Enterprise Search.
