Message

Object is the parent of itself.

Severity

High.

Detailed Description

An object has a parent/child relationship with itself.

Possible Cause

A serious and unexpected error has occurred, likely while changing the child object's parent.

Possible Impacts

Because the object does not have a proper parent/child relationship to a parent object in the database, it cannot be displayed in the Workspace Explorer or other tree views. Any branch of the system hierarchy below such an object will also not be displayed in the Workspace Explorer or other tree views. The broken object and any objects and parts in the branch below the broken object are lost from view, even though they continue to exist in the database.
