• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RAP_CMP_CHECKS029 - Searchable property was changed for entity set &1 of service &2. ?

  The SAP error message RAP_CMP_CHECKS029 indicates that there has been a change to a searchable property in an entity set of a service in the RAP (Rapid Application Programming) model. This typically occurs when the metadata of the service has been modified, particularly regarding the properties that are marked as searchable.
  Cause:
  
  Change in Metadata: The error is triggered when a property that was previously marked as searchable is changed to non-searchable or vice versa. This can happen during development when the service definition is updated.
  Inconsistent State: The service might be in an inconsistent state due to changes in the underlying data model or entity definitions that have not been properly reflected in the service's metadata.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Entity Definition: Review the entity set definition in the service to ensure that the searchable properties are correctly defined. Make sure that any changes made to the entity's metadata are intentional and correctly implemented.
  Adjust Searchable Properties: If a property was changed from searchable to non-searchable, consider reverting that change if it was not intended. Conversely, if a property needs to be made searchable, ensure that it is correctly defined in the service.
  Regenerate Service: After making changes to the entity definitions, regenerate the service to ensure that the metadata is up to date. This can often resolve inconsistencies.
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or references in other parts of the application that might be affected by the change in searchable properties.
  Transport Changes: If the changes were transported from a development environment to a production environment, ensure that all related changes are included in the transport request.
