• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2231 - The relation is not a cross-system rel. but has cross-system references ?

  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2231 indicates that there is an issue with the relationship between objects in the Enterprise Search (ESH) framework. Specifically, the error states that the relation is not defined as a cross-system relationship, but it contains references that are cross-system in nature. This can occur in scenarios where the system is trying to establish a relationship between objects that are located in different systems, but the relationship itself is not configured to support cross-system references.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The relationship between the objects is not set up to handle cross-system references. This can happen if the relationship type is defined only for intra-system references.
  Data Integrity: There may be inconsistencies in the data where an object is referencing another object that resides in a different system, but the relationship is not defined to accommodate this.
  System Landscape: In a distributed system landscape, if the configuration does not properly account for cross-system relationships, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Relationship Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the object model and the relationships defined in the ESH. Ensure that the relationship type is set up to allow cross-system references if that is the intended use case.
  You may need to modify the relationship definition to support cross-system references.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
  
  Investigate the objects involved in the relationship. Ensure that the references are valid and that they point to the correct systems.
  If there are invalid references, you may need to clean up the data to remove or correct these references.
  
  
  
  System Settings:
  
  Check the system settings and configurations related to the ESH and cross-system communication. Ensure that all necessary configurations are in place to support cross-system relationships.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for Enterprise Search and object model configuration for detailed guidance on setting up relationships correctly.
  
  
  
  SAP Support:
