  The SAP error message ESH_HANA_ADMIN056 indicates that there is an issue with the full-text index for a specific attribute on a HANA database table that is not recognized in the Enterprise Search (ESH) domain. This typically occurs when the full-text index is not properly configured or is missing for the specified attribute in the context of the ESH.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Full-Text Index: The full-text index for the specified attribute on the HANA table is not created or is not recognized in the ESH domain.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the ESH settings or the HANA database that prevent the index from being recognized.
  Changes in Table Structure: If the structure of the HANA table has changed (e.g., columns added or removed), the existing full-text index may no longer be valid.
  Domain Mismatch: The attribute may not be part of the defined ESH domain, leading to the error.
  
  Solution:

  Ensure that the attribute is correctly defined in the ESH configuration.
  Check the ESH domain settings to ensure that the attribute is included in the domain.
  
  
  
  Re-indexing: After making changes, you may need to re-index the ESH to ensure that the changes are reflected. This can typically be done through the ESH administration tools.
