SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_REP - Object Model Repository

• Message number: 379

• Message text: End node of navigation path differs from to-node of previous step

What causes this issue?

A navigation path links the two nodes:
<ZK>Start </>node: Node where the path begins
<ZK>End </>node: Node where the path ends
It also consists of a sequence of steps.
A navigation path step links the two nodes.
<ZK>From </>node: Node where the step starts
<ZK>To </>node: Node where the step ends
The start node of the path must be the same node as the from node of the
first step.
The end node of the path must be the same node as the to node of the
last step.
This is not the case.

System Response
