• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_SQL_SEARCH015 - CDS connector for CDS entity &1 is not available - activation failed ?

  The SAP error message ESH_SQL_SEARCH015 indicates that there is an issue with the activation of a CDS (Core Data Services) entity in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search (ESH) framework. This error typically arises when the CDS view that is supposed to be connected to the ESH is not available or has not been activated properly.
  Causes:
  
  CDS View Not Activated: The CDS view that the ESH is trying to access may not be activated. This can happen if the view has been recently created or modified and not activated.
  Missing Dependencies: The CDS view may have dependencies on other objects (like other CDS views, tables, or fields) that are not activated or do not exist.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that prevented it from being activated.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or activate the CDS view.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the ESH settings that prevent the proper linking of the CDS view.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Activate the CDS View: Go to the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or transaction SE11/SE80 and check if the CDS view is activated. If not, activate it.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects of the CDS view are also activated. You can check the dependencies in the CDS view definition.
  Transport Check: If the CDS view was transported, check the transport logs for any errors. You may need to re-transport the object or manually activate it in the target system.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and activate the CDS view. You may need to consult with your security team.
  Review ESH Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the ESH to ensure that the CDS view is correctly linked and configured. This may involve checking the ESH settings in transaction ESH_COCKPIT or related configuration transactions.
  Check for Errors in Logs: Review the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages that may provide more context about the issue.
