• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2053 - Flag "Based on BW Data Sources" cannot be changed ?

  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2053, which states that the flag "Based on BW Data Sources" cannot be changed, typically occurs in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search (SAP ESH) or when working with the SAP Business Warehouse (BW) data sources. This error indicates that there is an issue with modifying the settings of a data model that is based on BW data sources.
  Cause:
  
  Data Model Configuration: The data model you are trying to modify is configured to use BW data sources, and certain properties of these models are locked to maintain data integrity.

  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to make changes to the data model settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Model Status: Ensure that the data model is not in a locked state or being used by other processes. If it is, you may need to wait until those processes are completed.
  Review Configuration: If you need to change the flag, consider creating a new data model instead of modifying the existing one. This can help avoid issues with locked configurations.
  User Permissions: Verify that you have the appropriate permissions to make changes to the data model. If not, contact your system administrator to obtain the necessary access.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for Enterprise Search and BW data sources to understand the implications of changing this flag and the correct procedures to follow.
