CNVA_20400_CHECK036 - Details

• The SAP error message CNVA_20400_CHECK036 indicates that there is a problem with the way merges are being handled in a data transformation process, specifically in the context of SAP Data Services or SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error typically arises when there is a mix of explicit and implicit merges that create a cycle in the data flow.
  
  Cause:
  
  Explicit Merges: These are merges that are defined directly by the user in the data flow. They are typically used to combine data from different sources or transformations.
  Implicit Merges: These occur automatically when data flows are combined without a direct merge operation being defined by the user.
  Cycle Detection: The error suggests that the combination of explicit and implicit merges has created a circular reference in the data flow. This means that the data is being processed in a way that it could potentially lead to infinite loops or recursive processing, which is not
