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?

The cause of this error is that a role mapping already exists that is
preventing the creation of the relationship type requested. You must
either cancel this mapping, or generate a new relationship type from
the old one. When generation takes place, the new role types are
automatically selected (if a role mapping exists) or generated (if a
role mapping does not exist) for the role types.
