• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_REP609 - Model cannot be renamed because connectors exist ?

  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_REP609 indicates that you are trying to rename an object model in the SAP Enterprise Search (SAP ESH) system, but the operation cannot be completed because there are existing connectors associated with that model. Connectors are used to link the object model to various data sources, and renaming the model while connectors are still in use can lead to inconsistencies or data integrity issues.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the object model you are attempting to rename has one or more connectors that are still active or linked to it. The system prevents renaming to ensure that the integrity of the data and the connections is maintained.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Active Connectors:
  
  Check which connectors are currently associated with the object model. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration area in the SAP ESH administration or using transaction codes related to ESH configuration.
  
  
  
  Deactivate or Remove Connectors:
  
  If you find that there are connectors linked to the object model, you will need to either deactivate or remove them. This can typically be done in the ESH configuration settings where connectors are managed.
  
  
  
  Rename the Object Model:
  
  Once all connectors have been deactivated or removed, you should be able to rename the object model without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure Connectors (if necessary):
  
  After renaming the object model, if you need to use connectors again, you can reconfigure them to link to the newly renamed object model.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
