• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_ODP201 - Navigation attribute &1 must refer to a node attribute in model &2 ?

  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_ODP201 indicates that there is an issue with a navigation attribute in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search (SAP ESH) Object Model. Specifically, the error states that the navigation attribute must refer to a node attribute in the specified model.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  A navigation attribute is defined in the object model but does not correctly reference an existing node attribute.
  There may be a mismatch in the configuration of the object model, where the navigation attribute is expected to point to a node attribute that is either missing or incorrectly defined.
  The object model may have been modified, and the navigation attribute is no longer valid due to changes in the underlying data structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Model Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP ESH Object Model configuration and verify the definitions of the navigation attributes and node attributes.
  Ensure that the navigation attribute you are trying to use is correctly defined and points to a valid node attribute in the specified model.
  
  
  
  Validate Node Attributes:
  
  Confirm that the node attribute referenced by the navigation attribute exists in the model. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or correct the reference.
  
  
  
  Review Changes:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the object model, review those changes to ensure that they did not inadvertently break the relationship between navigation attributes and node attributes.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Object Model:
  
  If the issue persists, consider rebuilding the object model. This can sometimes resolve inconsistencies that may have arisen due to configuration changes.
  
  
  
  Check Documentation:
