• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT536 - Maximum recursive REF migration level (24) reached ?

  The SAP error message ECATT536: Maximum recursive REF migration level (24) reached typically occurs during the execution of eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) scripts when there is an excessive level of recursion in reference migration. This can happen when a test script or a reference object is calling itself or another object in a way that exceeds the allowed recursion depth.
  
  Cause:
  
  Recursive Calls: The most common cause is that the eCATT script or the referenced objects are set up in such a way that they call each other recursively, leading to a situation where the maximum recursion depth is exceeded.
  Circular References: There may be circular references in the test data or in the way the test scripts are structured, causing the system to keep trying to resolve references indefinitely.
  Complex Test Structures: If the test structure is overly complex with many layers of references, it can lead to hitting the recursion
