• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2031 - Only one field can have semantics "Searchable file" ?

  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2031 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the object model in the SAP Enterprise Search (SAP ESH) system. Specifically, it means that there is more than one field in the object model that has been marked with the semantics "Searchable file," which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system expects only one field to be designated as "Searchable file" within a given object model. This designation is typically used to indicate which field contains the content that should be indexed and made searchable. If multiple fields are marked with this semantic, the system cannot determine which one to use, leading to the error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to review the configuration of your object model and ensure that only one field is assigned the "Searchable file" semantic. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Object Model Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP ESH configuration area where the object model is defined.
  
  
  
  Identify the Fields:
  
  Review the fields in the object model and identify which ones are currently marked with the "Searchable file" semantic.
  
  
  
  Modify the Configuration:
  
  Choose one field to retain the "Searchable file" semantic and remove this designation from any other fields that currently have it.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the object model.
  
  
  
  Re-index if Necessary:
  
  Depending on your system's configuration, you may need to re-index the data to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific documentation for SAP ESH for more details on configuring object models and semantics.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error message.
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the search functionality works as expected and that the correct field is being indexed.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your object model is correctly configured for SAP Enterprise Search.
