Message type: E = Error
Message class: SWDP_WB_TOOL - Web Dynpro: Messages for Workbench Tools
Message number: 263
Message text: Mapping for &1 to &2 not possible due to recursion
Mapping from &V1& to &V2& is not permitted, as &V2& has its own mapping
that refers directly or indirectly to &V1&.
The mapping can neither be created nor used.
If you receive this error message when you check a context or when you
update the mapping to context node &V1&, delete the mapping to &V1&
using the context menu function with the same name.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

SWDP_WB_TOOL263
- Mapping for &1 to &2 not possible due to recursion ?The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL263, which states "Mapping for &1 to &2 not possible due to recursion," typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Dynpro applications. This error indicates that there is a recursive mapping issue in the configuration of the Web Dynpro components, where a mapping is trying to reference itself directly or indirectly, leading to an infinite loop.
Cause:
- Recursive Mapping: The most common cause of this error is that the mapping between two elements (e.g., context nodes, attributes) is set up in such a way that it creates a loop. For example, if you have a mapping from Node A to Node B and then from Node B back to Node A, this creates recursion.
- Incorrect Configuration: Sometimes, the configuration of the Web Dynpro component might be incorrect, leading to unintended recursive mappings.
- Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model or the structure of the Web Dynpro application, it might have inadvertently introduced recursion.
Solution:
- Review Mappings: Check the mappings in the Web Dynpro component configuration. Look for any direct or indirect references that could lead to recursion. Ensure that mappings do not point back to themselves or create a circular reference.
- Adjust Context Nodes: If you find recursive mappings, consider restructuring your context nodes or attributes to eliminate the recursion. This may involve changing the hierarchy or the way data is passed between nodes.
- Debugging: Use the debugging tools available in the SAP Web Dynpro environment to trace the execution and identify where the recursion is occurring. This can help pinpoint the exact mapping causing the issue.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for guidance on best practices for mapping in Web Dynpro applications. There may be specific guidelines or examples that can help you avoid recursion.
- Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the application behaves as expected.
