• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_QL_MSG081 - Local (non-transportable) public calling variant will be assigned to &1 ?

  The SAP error message ESH_QL_MSG081 indicates that a local (non-transportable) public calling variant is being assigned to a specific object, denoted by &1. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Enterprise Search or similar applications where variants are used to store specific search parameters or configurations.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Local Variant Creation: A variant was created locally in a specific client and is not transportable to other clients or systems. This can happen if the variant was not saved as a transportable object.
  Missing Transport Request: The variant may not have been included in a transport request, which is necessary for moving it between different environments (e.g., from development to production).
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in such a way that it does not allow the transport of certain types of variants.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Variant Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction where the variant is being used and check if it is indeed a local variant.
  If it is local, consider creating a transportable variant instead.
  
  
  
  Create a Transportable Variant:
  
  If you need the variant to be transportable, create a new variant and ensure that it is saved in a transport request.
  You can do this by using the "Save as" option and selecting the appropriate transport request.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  Ensure that the transport request containing the variant is released and imported into the target system if you are trying to use it in a different environment.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Check SAP documentation or notes related to the specific application you are working with to understand any specific requirements or limitations regarding variants.
