ORA-42915

A circular reference was detected while trying to alter the existing OLS group group_name with the parent parent_group_name.
  • group_name: The OLS group being altered.
  • parent_group_name: Parent group specified while trying to alter group.

Cause

The new Oracle Label Security (OLS) parent group in the operation is already a descendent for the current OLS group. OLS groups can only be configured in a hierarchy and not in a circular reference.


Action

Do not specify one of the descendent groups as the new parent in the OLS SA_COMPONENTS.ALTER_GROUP_PARENT procedure to prevent forming a circular reference.
