Search connector for category EAM_TECHOBJ is not active


While working with FIORI tiles, sometimes you face issues when searching within EAM FIORI applications. Error may be like,

  • When using the ‘Advanced Search’ option within the applications, there are no results returned.

Or

  • You receive an error like “Search connector for category EAM_TECHOBJ is not active” (message EAMS_BO 201) when trying to search for a Technical Object.

The reason for that is, the search models for plant maintenance have been revised and the SAP HANA-based Enterprise Search has been enabled in the Web Dynpro applications in plant maintenance.

  • EQUIPMENT_H
