  The SAP error message ESH_SQL_SEARCH026 indicates that a database view for a Core Data Services (CDS) entity is not available. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Enterprise Search or when trying to access data through CDS views that are expected to be available in the underlying database.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Database View: The database view that corresponds to the CDS entity has not been created or activated in the database.

  Re-activate the View: If the view is not activated, activate it. If it is already activated, try reactivating it to ensure that it is properly registered in the database.
  Check Transport Logs: If the view was transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues during the transport process.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view and the underlying database tables.
