• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_POST_INSTALL011 - Logon group &1 was already created ?

  The SAP error message ESH_POST_INSTALL011 indicates that a logon group you are trying to create during the installation or configuration of the SAP Enterprise Search (ESH) has already been created in the system. This typically occurs during the post-installation steps when the system checks for existing configurations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an attempt to create a logon group that already exists in the SAP system. This can happen if:
  
  The logon group was created manually before the installation process.
  The installation or configuration process was run multiple times, leading to duplicate attempts to create the same logon group.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Logon Groups:
  
  Use transaction code SMLG in the SAP GUI to check the existing logon groups. Look for the logon group mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Modify or Use Existing Logon Group:
  
  If the logon group already exists and is configured correctly, you can proceed with the installation or configuration using the existing logon group instead of trying to create a new one.
  If you need to modify the existing logon group, you can do so in the SMLG transaction.
  
  
  
  Skip Creation Step:
  
  If the installation or configuration script allows, you may be able to skip the step that attempts to create the logon group.
  
  
  
  Delete Duplicate Logon Group (if necessary):
  
  If the existing logon group is not needed or is incorrectly configured, you can delete it from the SMLG transaction. Be cautious with this step, as it may affect other configurations or users.
  
  
  
  Review Installation Documentation:
  
  Check the installation or configuration documentation for any specific instructions regarding logon groups. There may be additional steps or considerations that need to be taken into account.
