  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_REP467 indicates that an object type is not allowed to be deleted in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search (ESH) or Object Model. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete an object that is either protected or has dependencies that prevent its deletion.
