Hi All,

I have deleted the processing group with the name "SomeGroup" for DIXF.

Again I trying to create new processing group with the same name. but getting the errors.

Error : Cannot create a record in XML to entity mapping for a definition group (DMFSourceXMLToEntityMap). Processing group: SomeGroup, SomeGroup.
The record already exists.

Can you please guide me how can I achieve with out errors.

Regards,

Srinivas

    You can take a trace and see what's going on in back-end.

    Hi Srinivas,

    Did you clean up the history before deleting the processing group? How did you delete the group?

    You can check the contents of the table DMFSourceXMLToEntityMap. Delete orphaned records related to the "SomeGroup" processing group.
