How To Fix UCS0162 - Recursive linking of source tasks (&3)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCS0 - Messages for Status Management

• Message number: 162

• Message text: Recursive linking of source tasks (&3)

What causes this issue?

Source task &V2& is assigned to copy task &V1&. But that source task
also, directly or indirectly, points to source task &V3& - according to
the following sequence: &V4&.
The system cannot unambiguously interpret these kinds of recursive
source task assignments and, therefore, considers them invalid.

System Response

The definition of task &V1& is inconsistent and cannot be saved in its
current state.

How to fix this error?

Drop the assignment of task &V2& as the source task for copy task &V1&
for now.
Check the source tasks of all tasks affected in the recursion and if
necessary, adjust your settings.

Procedure for System Administrators
