• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_OUTBOUND059 - No explicit filters are assigned to application &1 and filter object &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WES_OUTBOUND059
  
  Text: No explicit filters are assigned to application &1 and filter object &2.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of SAP Enterprise Search or SAP Web Channel Experience Management (WCEM) when an outbound filter configuration is missing or incomplete.
  
  The system expects explicit filters to be assigned to a particular application (e.g., a search application or a web channel application) and a filter object (e.g., a data source or a filter category).
  If no filters are assigned, the system cannot determine which data to include or exclude during outbound processing (such as data replication, indexing, or filtering).
  This typically happens when the filter configuration is incomplete or has not been maintained in the filter assignment customizing.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During outbound processing of data for search indexing or web channel content delivery.
  When the system tries to apply filters to restrict or define the data set but finds no filters assigned.
  Common in scenarios involving SAP Enterprise Search, WCEM, or other applications using outbound filters.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Filter Assignments:
  
  Go to the customizing transaction for outbound filters.
  For SAP Enterprise Search, this is usually under:
  
  SPRO ? SAP NetWeaver ? Enterprise Search ? Outbound Filters
  
  
  For WCEM or other applications, check the relevant customizing path for filter assignments.
  
  
  
  Assign Explicit Filters:
  
  Assign the required filters explicitly to the application (&1) and filter object (&2) mentioned in the error.
  Filters define which data records are included or excluded during outbound processing.
  
  
  
  Maintain Filter Values:
  
  Ensure that the filter values are maintained correctly.
  For example, if the filter object is a category or a data source, make sure the filter values correspond to valid entries.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you make changes in a development or quality system, transport the filter assignments to production.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure the user or process executing the outbound processing has the necessary authorizations to read the filter assignments.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Filter Objects: These are entities or data sources that can be filtered, such as product categories, business partners, or document types.
  Applications: These refer to the SAP applications or modules that consume the filtered data.
  Outbound Filters: Used to restrict data sent from SAP to external systems or indexing engines.
  Related Transactions:

  Customizing transactions under Enterprise Search or WCEM.
  
  
  
  
  Example:
  If the error message is:
  
  No explicit filters are assigned to application WCEM and filter object CATEGORY
  
  You need to assign filters for the WCEM application and the CATEGORY filter object.
  This might involve defining which product categories are included in the outbound data for the web channel.
  
  
  If you provide the exact application and filter object values (&1 and &2), I can help you with more specific steps.
  
  Summary:
  
  The error means that the system expects filters to be assigned for a given application and filter object but none are found. Assigning explicit filters in the customizing resolves the issue.
