ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_ODP204 - Details

• The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_ODP204 indicates that a navigation attribute in the context of the Enterprise Search (ESH) might lead to performance issues. This typically occurs when the navigation attribute is not optimized for the underlying data model or when it is not indexed properly, leading to inefficient queries and slow response times.
  
  Cause:
  
  Non-Optimized Navigation Attributes: The navigation attribute may be defined in a way that requires complex joins or calculations, which can slow down query performance.
  Large Data Volume: If the navigation attribute is associated with a large dataset, it can lead to performance degradation when users attempt to navigate through the data.
  Missing Indexes: If the navigation attribute is not indexed, the database may take longer to retrieve the necessary data.
  Inefficient Query Design: The way the queries are structured can also lead to performance issues, especially if they are not leveraging the database's capabilities effectively.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Navigation Attributes: Analyze the navigation attributes
