• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SFSG_RP_MESSAGES126 - View &1 causes recursive usage ?

  The SAP error message SFSG_RP_MESSAGES126 indicates that there is a recursive usage of a view in the context of SAP SuccessFactors. This typically occurs when a view is trying to reference itself directly or indirectly, leading to a loop that the system cannot resolve.
  Cause:
  
  Recursive View Definition: The most common cause of this error is that the view definition is set up in such a way that it references itself, either directly or through another view that eventually leads back to the original view.
  Incorrect Joins: If the view is defined with joins that create a circular reference, this can also lead to recursive usage.
  Data Model Issues: Sometimes, the underlying data model may have issues that cause views to reference each other in a circular manner.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review View Definition: Check the definition of the view that is causing the error. Look for any direct or indirect self-references. Ensure that the view does not call itself in its definition.
  Modify Joins: If the view is using joins, review them to ensure that they do not create a circular reference. Adjust the joins as necessary to eliminate any recursive paths.
  Test Changes: After making changes to the view definition or joins, test the view to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for best practices on defining views to avoid recursive references.
  Seek Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a technical expert who specializes in SAP SuccessFactors.
