• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_UI5_SEARCH012 - UI cannot be built as cyclic relation exists in customising of drill down ?

  The SAP error message MDG_UI5_SEARCH012 indicates that there is a cyclic relation in the customizing of the drill-down configuration for the Master Data Governance (MDG) UI5 application. This typically occurs when the drill-down hierarchy or relationships between different entities are incorrectly defined, leading to a situation where the system cannot determine a clear path for navigation.
  Cause:
  
  Cyclic Relationships: The most common cause is that there are circular references in the drill-down configuration. For example, if Entity A references Entity B, and Entity B references Entity A, this creates a cycle that the system cannot resolve.
  Incorrect Customization: Customizing settings in the MDG application might have been incorrectly set up, leading to conflicting relationships.
  Missing or Incorrect Configuration: If the drill-down settings are not properly defined or if there are missing entries in the customizing tables, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Drill-Down Configuration: Check the customizing settings for the drill-down configuration in the MDG application. Look for any cyclic references and correct them. Ensure that the relationships between entities are linear and do not loop back on themselves.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like MDGIMG to access the MDG Implementation Guide and navigate to the relevant customizing settings. Look for the drill-down settings and verify their correctness.
  Check Custom Code: If there is any custom code or enhancements related to the drill-down functionality, review it to ensure that it does not introduce cyclic dependencies.
  Testing: After making changes, test the UI5 application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the drill-down functionality works as expected.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to MDG and UI5 for any specific guidelines or known issues regarding drill-down configurations.
