# Checking for a Loop in a Job Network

To check for a loop in a network

1. In the object workspace, select a Network Master instance.

2. Invoke the context menu and choose Check for loop.

- If a loop in the job flow is detected, the following message appears:

      Definition Loop in xxx/yyy

  where:

  `xxx` is the name of the network tested for loops, and

  `yyy` is the name of the job in the network, in which a cyclic link was first detected.

  When a loop has been detected, a corresponding message is written to the Entire Operations log.

- If no loop is detected, the following message appears:

      No Loop in Network xxx

- If the network contains more than 1000 jobs and no loop has been detected in these first 1000 jobs, the following message appears:

      Loop check limit 1000 exceeded. Loop check stops.

  Entire Operations does not perform a loop test on more than 1000 jobs.

  The following figure illustrates a loop within the job flow of a network.
