Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2346 - Node &2 references another node but object type &1 is not virtual ?

  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2346 indicates that there is an issue with the object model in the SAP Enterprise Search (ESH) configuration. Specifically, it suggests that a node (identified by &2) is referencing another node, but the object type (identified by &1) is not defined as virtual. This can lead to inconsistencies in the object model, as the system expects certain relationships to be defined correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Object Type Configuration: The object type referenced in the error message is not set up as a virtual object type in the system. In SAP, virtual object types are used to define relationships between different nodes in the object model.
  Incorrect Node Relationships: The node that is referencing another node may have been incorrectly configured, leading to a situation where it expects a virtual object type but finds a non-virtual one instead.
  Model Definition Issues: There may be issues in the definition of the object model itself, such as missing or incorrect entries in the configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the object type in question and verify if it is set as a virtual object type. If it is not, you may need to change its configuration to make it virtual if that is appropriate for your use case.
  
  
  
  Review Node Relationships:
  
  Examine the relationships between the nodes in the object model. Ensure that the node identified by &2 is correctly configured to reference the appropriate node and that the object types involved are compatible.
  
  
  
  Adjust Object Model:
  
  If necessary, adjust the object model to ensure that all nodes and their relationships are correctly defined. This may involve adding or modifying nodes and their properties.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring object types and relationships in the ESH object model. This can provide insights into best practices and common pitfalls.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error is resolved and that the object model behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring object models in ESH.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to ESH configuration, such as EHS_SEARCH or EHS_ADMIN, which may help in managing and troubleshooting the object model.
  Community Forums: Consider reaching out to SAP community forums or support channels for additional assistance or to see if others have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
