• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_HANA_FL_ADMIN118 - The connector &1, node &2 has no req./resp. attr. of sem. "Content URL" ?

  The SAP error message ESH_HANA_FL_ADMIN118 indicates that there is an issue with a connector in the SAP Enterprise Search (SAP ESH) system. Specifically, it states that the connector (identified by &1) and node (identified by &2) do not have any required or response attributes of the semantic type "Content URL." This typically means that the system is expecting a certain configuration or data structure that is not present.
  Cause
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Configuration: The connector or node may not be properly configured to include the necessary attributes that define the content URL.
  Data Model Issues: The underlying data model may not have the required attributes defined, leading to the absence of the expected content URL.
  Incompatibility: There may be a mismatch between the connector's expected attributes and the actual attributes defined in the data source.
  Changes in Data Source: If there have been recent changes to the data source or the connector configuration, it may have led to the removal or alteration of the required attributes.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Connector Configuration:

  Ensure that the required attributes, especially those related to the "Content URL," are defined and correctly mapped.
  
  
  
  Define Required Attributes:
  
  If the required attributes are missing, you may need to define them in the data model or the connector configuration.
  Ensure that the attributes are marked as required if they are necessary for the operation of the connector.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source:
  
  Check the underlying data source to ensure that it contains the necessary fields that correspond to the required attributes in the connector.
  If the data source has changed, update the connector configuration accordingly.
  
  
  
  Test the Connector:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the connector to ensure that it is functioning correctly and that the error no longer appears.
