• Message number: 011

• Message text: Filter object &2 is not assigned to application &1

What causes this issue?

System Response

The system automatically uses default values for non-configured
settings. As no tables are available for filter objects in the
customizing settings, you cannot use simple filters. If no complex or
implicit filters are assigned to filter object &v2& either, filtering is
generally impossible.
The system informs you of this issue in a separate message.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Procedure for System Administrators

Assign a filter object to the assignment &v1& in customizing.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_FILTER011 - Filter object &2 is not assigned to application &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WES_FILTER011: Filter object &2 is not assigned to application &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a filter object (e.g., a filter ID or filter variant) is being used or referenced in an application, but it has not been assigned or linked to that particular application in the system. In other words, the system expects the filter object to be associated with the specified application, but it cannot find such an assignment.
  This typically happens in scenarios involving SAP Enterprise Search or Web Channel (WES) applications where filters are used to narrow down search results or data views. The filter object must be explicitly assigned to the application to be valid.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Application &1: This is the identifier of the application (e.g., a Web Channel application or search application).
  Filter object &2: This is the filter object or filter ID that is being referenced.
  
  The system checks if the filter object is assigned to the application before allowing it to be used. If not assigned, it throws this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign the filter object to the application:
  
  Go to the configuration or customizing transaction where filter objects are managed.
  Assign the filter object (&2) to the application (&1).
  This can be done via the relevant IMG activity or via the application’s filter configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Check the filter object and application IDs:
  
  Verify that the filter object ID and application ID are correct and consistent.
  Sometimes typos or incorrect IDs cause this error.
  
  
  
  Use the appropriate transaction or customizing path:
  
  For SAP Enterprise Search or Web Channel, the assignment is often done in the customizing under:
  
  SPRO ? SAP NetWeaver ? Enterprise Search ? Search Applications ? Assign Filter Objects to Search Applications
  Or in Web Channel configuration under filter management.
  
  
  
  
  
  Transport the changes if needed:
  
  If you assign the filter object in a development system, make sure to transport the changes to quality and production systems.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common when new filters are created but not properly linked to the applications that use them.
  Always ensure that any filter object used in an application is assigned to it before runtime.
  If you are unsure about the filter object or application IDs, check the relevant customizing tables or use transaction codes related to filter and application management.
  In some cases, this error can also occur if the filter object was deleted or changed after being assigned, so verify the existence and status of the filter object.
