Cable run not associated with any cable feature.

Severity

Fatal.

Detailed Description

A cable run has been found in the model that has no cable path features related to it. In other words, the cable run has no design children. It has no end features with which to connect to equipment and no segment features that can be associated with a cableway or conduit run, nor does it have any path legs associated with it that can be used to connect the segments or the two pieces of equipment.

At a minimum, a cable run should have three features associated with it: two end features and one path leg. As the cable is routed, more features will be added. At no time should a cable run have no features associated with it.

Note that the type of features identified as missing is not identifiable in the graphical tasks (even when they do exist). These objects are utilized internally to create and manage the path of a cable run.

Possible Cause

This situation is highly unusual. It most likely occurs due to some interruption of the algorithm during a commit when the child relationships are not written to the Model database.

Possible Impacts

This cable run cannot be routed nor does it know what equipment it is connecting. It cannot be cleaned. It must be destroyed and re-created.

What You Should Do

Below are the steps necessary to correct this problem.

  1. Open the model.

  2. Select the cable.

  3. Delete the cable.
