  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2197 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of fields to a common attribute in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search (ESH) or the Object Model. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to assign multiple fields to a single common attribute, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Multiple Fields Assigned: You are trying to assign more than one field from a request to a single common attribute. In SAP, each common attribute can only be linked to one field from the request.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the data model or the mapping of fields to attributes in the ESH configuration.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or the structure of the request, it may lead to inconsistencies in how fields are mapped to common attributes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Field Assignments:
  
  Check the configuration of the request and the common attributes. Ensure that each common attribute is assigned to only one field from the request.
  If multiple fields are mistakenly assigned to the same common attribute, modify the configuration to ensure that only one field is linked.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Model:
  
  If you have made changes to the data model, ensure that the mappings are updated accordingly. Review the data model definitions and ensure that they align with the expected structure.
  
  
  
  Check for Duplicates:
