• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_REP068 - Description in language &2 already exists ?

  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_REP068 indicates that there is an attempt to create an object model representation in the Enterprise Search (ESH) framework, but an object with the same name already exists in the specified language. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify an object model representation that has already been defined.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause is that there is already an existing object model representation for the same object in the specified language.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the object model settings or the way the object is being created.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting changes from one system to another, there might be conflicts with existing entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (like ESH_COCKPIT or ESH_MAINTAIN) and check if the object model representation already exists in the specified language.
  If it does exist, you may need to modify or delete the existing entry instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Modify the Object: 
  
  If you need to change the existing object model representation, you can do so by editing the existing entry rather than creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Language: 
  
  If you are trying to create a new representation, consider using a different language code if applicable.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: 
  
  If this issue arises after a transport, ensure that the transport does not contain conflicting entries. You may need to adjust the transport request.
