  The SAP error message ESH_QM_OPT015, which states "Indicator &1: No data, optimization not possible," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Enterprise Search or Query Management functionalities. This error indicates that the system is unable to perform an optimization operation because there is no data available for the specified indicator.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Data Available: The most common cause of this error is that the indicator specified (represented by &1) does not have any associated data in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The data not being loaded or indexed properly.
  The data being deleted or not yet created.
  Filters applied that exclude all relevant data.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the search or query management settings that prevent data from being recognized or processed.
  
  
  Timing Issues: If the optimization process is being run immediately after data loading, it may be that the data has not yet been fully processed or indexed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there is indeed data available for the indicator in question. You can do this by running relevant queries or reports to see if the expected data exists.
  
  
  Data Load and Indexing: Ensure that the data has been loaded and indexed correctly. If necessary, re-run the data load or indexing process to ensure that the system has the latest data.
  
  
  Review Filters and Settings: Check any filters or settings that may be applied to the indicator. Ensure that they are not overly restrictive and that they allow for the expected data to be included.
  
  
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings for the search or query management to ensure that everything is set up correctly. This may involve checking the settings in the SAP GUI or relevant transaction codes.
  
  
  Timing Considerations: If the error occurs immediately after a data load, consider waiting a short period and then attempting the optimization again to allow the system to process the data.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using for any additional troubleshooting steps or known issues.
