  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_REP708 typically indicates an issue related to authorization checks in the context of the Enterprise Search (ESH) or Object Model in SAP. This error suggests that there are problems with the start relations for paths in the assigned authorization checks, which can prevent users from accessing certain data or functionalities.
