SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 253

• Message text: &1 is not a node that can be used for copying

What causes this issue?

The selected context element &V1& does not meet the requirements for the
copy process. It is either not a real node, but an attribute, or a
recursion node.
Or it is a real node or the root node; this can be the case if you
specified the context elements to be copied and selected the setting
"Only Lower-Level Nodes and Attributes, but Not the Node Itself", but
neither lower-level nodes nor attributes exist or the root node.
Or it is the root node if you specified the context elements to be
copied and selected the setting "Node Including its Lower-Level Nodes
and Attributes".

System Response

The selection is rejected by the system.

How to fix this error?

The nodes allowed for copying depend on whether the node itself is to be
copied as well or only its lower-level nodes.
A root node must not be copied along with it.

Procedure for System Administrators
