• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2196 - More than one field of request &1 is assigned to common attribute &2 ?

  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2196 indicates that there is a conflict in the assignment of fields to a common attribute in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search or the Object Model. Specifically, it means that more than one field from the request is assigned to the same common attribute, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Field Assignments: Multiple fields in the request are mapped to the same common attribute, leading to ambiguity in how the data should be processed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the data model or the way fields are defined in the search or object model.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
