  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_REP381 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of text search-relevant fields in the context of object model relationships. This error typically arises when you attempt to create or modify a relationship in the SAP Enterprise Search (SAP ESH) framework, and the system detects that text search-relevant fields are being improperly used in that context.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Improper Field Usage: You are trying to use fields that are designated as text search-relevant in a relationship definition where they are not allowed.

  Incompatibility: The fields you are trying to relate may not be compatible with the type of relationship you are trying to establish.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Object Model Configuration:

  If you need to use text search-relevant fields, consider whether you can achieve your goal without creating a direct relationship using those fields. You may need to create a different type of relationship or use other fields that are compatible.
