• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2224 - A composition must not have an association type ?

  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2224 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a composition in the Object Model of the Enterprise Search (ESH) framework. Specifically, the error states that a composition must not have an association type, which means that the system is expecting a certain structure or relationship type that is not being adhered to in your configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The error typically arises when a composition is incorrectly defined in the object model. Compositions are meant to represent a "part-of" relationship, while associations represent a "related-to" relationship. If an association type is mistakenly assigned to a composition, this error will occur.
  Model Definition Issues: There may be issues in the way the object model is defined, such as incorrect relationships or types being used in the model.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Object Model Configuration: Check the configuration of the object model in the SAP system. Ensure that all compositions are defined correctly without any association types. 
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in the SAP system where the object model is defined.
  Look for the specific composition that is causing the error and verify its properties.
  
  
  
  Correct Relationship Types: If you find that an association type is incorrectly assigned to a composition, change it to the appropriate type. Ensure that:
  
  Compositions are defined using the correct "composition" relationship type.
  Associations are defined using the correct "association" relationship type.
  
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the object model to ensure that the error no longer occurs. You may need to refresh or re-index the search model to see the changes take effect.
  
  
  Documentation and Support: If you are unsure about the correct configuration, refer to the SAP documentation for the Enterprise Search framework. Additionally, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP expert for assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
