Repairing inconsistencies

Following are the inconsistencies you are most likely to encounter:

Error Message Explanation Possible Repairs
Missing Object On Diagram A diagram points to one or more missing objects.
  • Reload the missing objects.
  • Delete the figure.

Already Deleted An object has been marked as deleted but is still in the system in an inconsistent state. Reload the object.
Missing Destination One of the objects in a relationship is missing.
  • Load the missing object.
  • Unlink from the missing object.

Missing Parent The parent of an object is missing. Reload the parent.
Orphan An object is not referenced by any other object (it has no parent), possibly because of damaged links. Repair any damaged links. If no links are damaged, delete the orphaned object.
Out Of Scope A relationship references an element that is not visible (not in the same model or one of its prerequisites).
  • Move the referenced element so it becomes visible.
  • Change the prerequisites.
  • Remove the link.

Missing Back Reference Relationship One element points to another, but the second does not point back to the first. Select Make Consistent By Repairing to automatically create the inverse link.
Modified But Not Saved An element contains changes that have not been saved. Save the element.
No Released Edition An element has not been released to its parent. This can happen if you version elements with ENVY browsers. Select Make Consistent By Repairing to release the currently loaded edition.
Association Attachment Link Error The source or destination of an association is incorrect.
  • Correct the association.
  • Delete the association.
