  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2097 indicates an authorization issue related to a system failure during a lock operation on an authorization object. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search or other components that require specific authorizations to access or manipulate data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action they are attempting. This could be due to missing roles or permissions related to the authorization object mentioned in the error message.
  System Lock Issues: The system may be experiencing a lock contention issue, where multiple processes are trying to access the same resource simultaneously, leading to a failure in acquiring the necessary locks.
  Database or System Errors: There could be underlying database issues or system errors that are causing the lock operation to fail.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations for the authorization object mentioned in the error message. You can do this by using transaction code SU53 to analyze the last authorization check or SU01 to check the user's roles and profiles.

  Review System Locks:

  Investigate if there are any long-running transactions that might be holding locks for an extended period.
  
  
  
  Check System Logs:
  
  Review the system logs (transaction SM21) for any related errors or warnings that could provide more context about the failure.
