ODL702_PROCESS003 - Details

• The SAP error message ODL702_PROCESS003 indicates that there is an issue with the serialization of an object model that contains cyclic references. This typically occurs when an object references itself directly or indirectly, creating a loop that cannot be serialized into a format like JSON or XML.
  
  Cause:
  
  Cyclic References: The primary cause of this error is the presence of cyclic references in the object model. For example, if Object A references Object B, and Object B references Object A, this creates a cycle that cannot be serialized.
  Data Structure Design: Poorly designed data structures or object models that do not account for potential cycles can lead to this issue.
  Serialization Mechanism: The serialization mechanism being used may not support cyclic references, leading to this error when it encounters such structures.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Cyclic References: Review the object model to identify where the cyclic references are occurring. This may involve examining the relationships between objects and
