SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSOS_SEARCH -

• Message number: 258

• Message text: Selected association type cannot be used for TLOGO &1

What causes this issue?

You are searching for objects used by a specific object of TLOGO type
&V1& (possible in both search types Metadata and Where Used) or you are
performing a where-used search for a specific object of TLOGO type &V1&.
TLOGO &V1& does not support usage of the specified association type
however.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

This behaviour cannot be changed, as it depends on the TLOGO handling in
general. TLOGO &V1& does not use the generic cross reference (XREF)
framework which makes use of the association type. The association type
therefore cannot be used when performing search queries in the metadata
or where-used data of TLOGO &V1&.
