In the Cycle Search module, all projects with network cycles are displayed.
A network cycle occurs when no last task can be found within a network cycle in the calculation of a schedule.
From DB 39.5.0
If scheduling detects a cycle, the Network cycle found: xyz (technical ID: xyz) message is displayed and for the project in question, the Network cycle checkbox is activated and for all affected tasks of the project, the Task with cycle checkbox is activated, NEW the tasks are highlighted in color (marked in red) and the scheduling is aborted for this project.
If several projects are scheduled, e.g. in the course of a Replanning or in the case of structured projects, scheduling is canceled (with an alert) only for the project in which a network cycle was found. After confirmation of the message, the scheduling of the remaining projects is finished.
From DB 39.5.0
If scheduling detects a cycle, the Network cycle message is actvated for the affected project and for all affected tasks of the project, the Task with cycle checkbox is activated and the scheduling is aborted for this project.
Details
Network cycles must be fixed by correcting the links in the Schedule module.

Notes
Possible constellations which give rise to a network cycle:
e.g. links from TA1 to TA2, from TA2 to TA3, from TA3 to TA1
Links between summary tasks and child tasks
NEW Links between summary and child tasks are not considered in scheduling, so that no network cycle occurs.
