• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IAM/CONFIG_INT105 - &1 has to be an elementary search help ?

  The SAP error message /IAM/CONFIG_INT105 &1 has to be an elementary search help typically occurs in the context of SAP Identity Management (IdM) or when configuring search helps in the SAP system. This error indicates that the search help you are trying to use is not an elementary search help, which is a requirement for certain configurations.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Elementary Search Help: The search help you are trying to use is a collective search help or a search help that is not defined as elementary. Elementary search helps are those that directly retrieve data from a single database table or view.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the settings where a non-elementary search help is being referenced in a context that requires an elementary search help.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Search Help Type:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and check the definition of the search help you are using.
  Ensure that it is defined as an elementary search help. If it is a collective search help, you will need to create or use an appropriate elementary search help.
  
  
  
  Create an Elementary Search Help:
  
  If you need to create a new elementary search help, you can do so in transaction SE11:
  
  Choose "Search Help" and create a new one.
  Define the search help with the necessary fields and link it to the appropriate database table or view.
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify Configuration:
  
  If the search help is being referenced in a configuration (like in a UI or a specific module), ensure that the configuration points to the correct elementary search help.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Elementary vs. Collective Search Help: 
  
  Elementary Search Help: Directly retrieves data from a single table or view.
  Collective Search Help: Combines multiple elementary search helps and is not suitable for contexts that require an elementary search help.
  
  
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help Portal or specific SAP Notes related to search helps and Identity Management for more detailed guidance.
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SE11: Data Dictionary for creating and managing search helps.
  SE80: Object Navigator for broader development tasks.
