• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_TST_SMK_MSG047 - Connector deletion took too much time ?

  The SAP error message ESH_TST_SMK_MSG047 indicates that the deletion of a connector in the SAP Enterprise Search (SAP ESH) took too long to complete. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions can help you address the issue effectively.
  Causes:
  
  Large Data Volume: If the connector is associated with a large volume of data, the deletion process may take longer than expected.
  System Performance: Performance issues in the SAP system, such as high CPU or memory usage, can slow down the deletion process.
  Locking Issues: If other processes are accessing the same data or if there are locks on the database tables, this can delay the deletion.
  Network Latency: If the connector interacts with external systems or databases, network latency can contribute to the delay.
  Database Performance: Slow database performance or issues with the database server can also lead to longer execution times.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Monitor System Performance: Check the overall performance of the SAP system. Use transaction codes like ST03N (Workload Analysis) or ST22 (Dump Analysis) to identify any performance bottlenecks.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the relevant database tables. If locks are found, investigate the processes holding those locks.
  Optimize Data Volume: If possible, reduce the amount of data associated with the connector before attempting deletion. This may involve archiving or deleting unnecessary data.
  Increase Timeout Settings: If the deletion process is expected to take a long time due to the volume of data, consider increasing the timeout settings for the connector deletion process.
  Database Maintenance: Perform regular database maintenance tasks, such as updating statistics and rebuilding indexes, to improve database performance.
  Run Deletion in Background: If the deletion process is taking too long, consider running it in the background using transaction SM37 to monitor its progress without blocking other operations.
  Check Logs: Review the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
