• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD2293 - BAdI implementation USMD_SEARCH hides all result columns ?

  The SAP error message USMD2293 indicates that a BAdI (Business Add-In) implementation for the USMD_SEARCH is hiding all result columns in the search results. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when customizing search functionalities.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the BAdI implementation for the search functionality is incorrectly configured or coded in such a way that it suppresses the display of all result columns. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Logic in BAdI Implementation: The logic in the BAdI implementation may inadvertently hide all columns instead of selectively hiding certain columns based on specific conditions.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that are not aligned with the expected behavior of the search results.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been changes to the data model or the fields being searched, the BAdI may not be updated accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the USMD2293 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Review BAdI Implementation:
  
  Go to the BAdI implementation for USMD_SEARCH (transaction code SE19).
  Check the code to ensure that it is not hiding all columns. Look for any conditions that might lead to all columns being hidden and adjust them accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration settings related to the search functionality in the MDG application. Ensure that the settings are correct and that the expected columns are configured to be displayed.
  
  
  
  Test with Standard Implementation:
  
  If possible, temporarily switch to the standard implementation of the BAdI to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem lies within the custom implementation.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use debugging tools to step through the BAdI implementation during the search process. This can help identify where the logic is failing and why columns are being hidden.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the BAdI and search functionalities in MDG. There may be specific guidelines or known issues that can provide insights.
