How To Fix ESH_HANA_FL_ADMIN123 - The Connector &1 is incomplete (registration for File Loader)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ESH_HANA_FL_ADMIN - ESH HANA File Loader

• Message number: 123

• Message text: The Connector &1 is incomplete (registration for File Loader)

What causes this issue?

Connector &v1& needs a registration record in table ESH_HDB_BINQ.

System Response

File content of connector &v1& is not searchable.

How to fix this error?

Delete and re-create the connector &v1&.

Procedure for System Administrators

For systems using HANA data base, file content is only searchable from
HANA version 1.00 revision 70 on.
If a search connector has been created for an older HANA version and you
upgrade HANA, the connector's file content cannot be made searchable
automatically.
To make it searchable, you have two options:
Delete the connector and re-create it
Create an incident for component BC-EIM-ESH and declare you need help
from development (File Loader team) to make the connector &v1&
consistent
The second option is recommended only if the connector has more than
about a million of records and re-indexing it is not an option for you,
as it takes too much time.
