Message number: 231
Message text: Root node cannot be used as a node to be repeated
A recursion node is valid only if the node that is recurrent is assigned
to it. This node must be on the path from the root node to the recursion
node. This means, it must be its direct or indirect predecessor. The
root node CONTEXT, however, cannot itself be used as a recurrence node.

SWDP_WB_TOOL231
- Root node cannot be used as a node to be repeated ?The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL231 indicates that there is an issue with the structure of a Web Dynpro application, specifically related to the use of nodes in the context of the Web Dynpro framework. The error message "Root node cannot be used as a node to be repeated" typically arises when there is an attempt to use the root node of a data model in a way that is not allowed, such as trying to repeat it in a UI element that expects a collection of items.
Cause:
- Incorrect Node Configuration: The root node in a Web Dynpro application is not designed to be repeated. If you try to bind a UI element (like a table or a list) to the root node, the framework will throw this error because it expects a collection node for such UI elements.
- Data Model Structure: The data model may not be structured correctly. For example, if you have a hierarchical structure, the root node should typically have child nodes that can be repeated.
- Binding Issues: There may be incorrect bindings in the view or component controller that lead to this error.
Solution:
- Check Node Configuration: Ensure that you are not trying to bind a UI element that expects a collection to the root node. Instead, bind it to a child node that is designed to be repeated.
- Modify Data Model: If necessary, adjust your data model to ensure that the root node has child nodes that can be used for repeating in the UI.
- Review UI Element Bindings: Go through the bindings of your UI elements and ensure that they are correctly set to the appropriate nodes. For example, if you are using a table, bind it to a child node that contains the data you want to display.
- Use Context Nodes Properly: Make sure that you are using context nodes properly in your Web Dynpro application. The root node should typically be used for holding the overall context, while child nodes should be used for collections of data.
