• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_TST_HIL_LOG_MSG009 - Severity of task to be set explicitly (not derived from child message) ?

  The SAP error message ESH_TST_HIL_LOG_MSG009 indicates that there is an issue with the severity level of a task that is being set implicitly based on a child message, rather than being explicitly defined. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Enterprise Search or similar applications where tasks and messages are logged and managed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system attempts to derive the severity of a task from a child message, but the severity has not been explicitly set. This can happen in scenarios where:
  
  The task is created or modified without a clear definition of its severity.
  There are inconsistencies in how messages and tasks are being logged or processed.
  The configuration of the logging or task management system does not allow for implicit severity assignment.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Explicitly Set Severity: Ensure that when creating or modifying tasks, the severity level is explicitly defined. This can usually be done in the task creation or modification interface.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to task management and logging in your SAP system. Ensure that the settings allow for explicit severity assignment and that there are no restrictions or misconfigurations.
  
  
  Review Child Messages: If the task is derived from a child message, check the child message for any issues or missing information that might prevent the severity from being set correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with (e.g., SAP Enterprise Search) to understand how severity levels are managed and what best practices should be followed.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider enabling debugging or logging to capture more detailed information about the task creation process. This can help identify where the severity is not being set correctly.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error message. If necessary, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.
