How To Fix SWDP_WB_TOOL206 - Mapping is only possible if parent of &1 is mapped to parent of &2

SWDP_WB_TOOL206 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SWDP_WB_TOOL - Web Dynpro: Messages for Workbench Tools

• Message number: 206

• Message text: Mapping is only possible if parent of &1 is mapped to parent of &2

What causes this issue?

You want to define mapping for the context element &V1&. The parent node
&V1& has mapping, but its original node is not the parent node of the
context element &V2&, which you wish to define as the original for the
mapping to &V1&.

System Response

The system rejects the mapping function.

How to fix this error?

Mapping is not possible particularly when the parent node for &V1& is
simultaneously the root node of the context - since root nodes cannot be
mapped.

Procedure for System Administrators

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

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL206 - Mapping is only possible if parent of &1 is mapped to parent of &2 ?

  The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL206 indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of objects in the SAP Web Dynpro environment. Specifically, it states that mapping is only possible if the parent of the source object (&1) is mapped to the parent of the target object (&2). This typically occurs when you are trying to create a mapping between two components or contexts in Web Dynpro, but the hierarchical structure of the components does not align correctly.
  
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchical Structure Mismatch: The error usually arises when the source and target components do not share a common parent in their respective context nodes. In Web Dynpro, context nodes are organized in a hierarchical structure, and mappings can only occur between nodes that are at the same level or have a direct parent-child relationship.
  Incorrect Mapping Configuration: The mapping configuration may have been set up incorrectly, leading to a situation where the source and
