Short Dump in SAPLSHI10

Summary

Symptom

While doing a Find/Search in the Reference IMG (SPRO), Test Catalogs

(STWB_1) or Test Plans (STWB_2) using Ctrl+F, there are three possibilities

of error:

1) The program directly gives a Short Dump in SAPLSHI10 -

giving error messages of ABAP runtime errors - LSHI10F01 form

READ_TEXTS_FROM_INDX (or) CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_LENG.

2) The search fails, returns - "Selected Text Not Found" even when

the Text is present in the Structure, or

3) It returns multiple hits, some of which do not display any nodes

in the Structure.

Other terms

SPRO, IMG, Test Catalog, Test Plan, STWB_1, STWB_2, SE43, SBACH04,

Search function, Ctrl+F, P_STRUCTURE_TEXTS, Short Dump

CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_LENG.

Reason and Prerequisites

The Search function is based on a Search Index which contains the Texts

of all the nodes displayed in a Structure. If the Structure has been

modified - involving changes to the Node Texts, removal of a few nodes or

addition of new nodes - the changes are not automatically updated in the

Search Index.

So, when one performs a Search now, it could result in either of the

three symptoms mentioned above.

Solution

Refresh the Search Index using either the 'Refresh' or the 'Refresh in

Background' Buttons in the Pop-up. This process may take about 2-3 minutes.

Once finished, it gives another pop-up 'Text Index Refreshed'.

Now the Search Function will work correctly.
