RivEX

Error Code

Error message

Description\Solution

1

RivEX is not licensed to this machine, all tools are disabled. You have full functionality of RivEX for the demonstration layer AlaskanNHDSample.

You are running RivEX in demonstration mode, to unlock RivEX you need to purchase it and obtain a license code using this tool then enter the code into the Purchase page on the RivEX website.

2

RivEX failed to connect to the layer's RivEX workspace folder, have you run your network through the Create a RivEX workspace tool, in the Prepare Network Toolset?

RivEX failed to find the RivEX workspace folder, you need to create this as the first step to preparing a river network.

3

RivEX failed to read the required topological dictionaries back into memory, aborting!

RivEX was unable to read the topological cache files stored in ..RivEX_Workspace\TopoCache. Have you deleted\renamed\moved them? A quick solution is to re-run the Extract network topology tool.

4

RivEX failed to get polyline ID field from settings file, have you run your network through the Extract Network Topology and write to Workspace tool yet?

The Extract Network Topology tool creates a unique polyline ID field along with from- and to- node ID fields.  If your data came with a unique ID field, this is ignored as RivEX needs to control specific field attribution. Therefore the second step you must always do after creating a workspace is to extract topology.

5

River network failed specific layer control checks, review comments above, tool aborting processing!

As a first step to every tool, RivEX checks for a variety of potential problems, some are considered as fatal errors, others are warnings.  You will need to resolve fatal errors to continue.

Fatal errors are:

• Layer has a join - Remove this
• Layer has a definition query - Clear this
• The geometry field is not called shape - Export to resolve
• Some of your fields are hidden - Make visible

Warning are:

• You have more than 255 fields in your dataset - Reduce
• Network is missing a spatial index - Spatial queries will be slow
• Network has over 1 million polylines - A large dataset
• Network is compressed - You will need to uncompress data

6

RivEX failed to turn input layer/path into a layer object

Your river network will typically be a layer in a map that you choose but it could be it's Feature Class in a GeoDatabase. RivEX failed to convert it into a layer, did you have spaces/unusual characters in the input?

7

RivEX failed to create an output field name, aborting!

Attribution tools need to add a new field to your network and part of that process is to build a field name. If a field with the name already exists it attempts to append _x to the end, where x is a number.  If this process fails this error occurs.

8

RivEX failed to update settings file, aborting!

This is an error that occurs when RivEX is unable to update the settings file, may be you have it unintentionally file locked by another application?

9

RivEX failed to create Error Log File GeoDatabase, aborting!

An error occurred during processing which needs to be written to the error log table. If this is the first occurrence then RivEX needs to create the Error Log GeoDatabase. This error occurs if it failed to create the GeoDatabase. Could be a permissions settings issue? 

10

RivEX failed to create the Error Log Table, aborting!

An error occurred during processing which needs to be written to the error log table. The Geodatabase exists but RivEX failed to create the Error Log table. Could be a permissions settings issue? 

11

Your RivEX settings file does not match current version of RivEX, see help file for advice, aborting!

The settings file does not match the latest version. This simply means your river network was processed with an older version of RivEX.  Future releases of RivEX might extend the settings file so this error is trapping a version change. 

The simplest solution is to run the Update settings file to latest version. After running this tool the new toolbox will work with your river network.

Alternatively you could re-run the Create a RivEX workspace which will build a new workspace and new settings file but RivEX will "forget" any fields it has added to the network along with any output datasets created. 

CAUTION - Overwriting the workspace, destroys the topology cache and any outputs you have created; consider copying these to a new location BEFORE you recreate a workspace.

12

The ID field for your input point\polygon layer does not contain unique values, you need to correct that!

The ID field for your site data has been checked and found not to contain unique values. Have you selected the correct field? You can create a unique number sequence with the field calculate tool, python has helper functions to achieve this.

13

The tool is sorting sites into a dictionary by catchment ID but this processing step has failed, review returned error message as it could be for multiple reasons.

20

None of the sites intersected the river network! You need to snap these sites.

RivEX failed to return any sites because all sites are not intersecting the river network. Have you snapped sites? Sites must be in the same coordinate system as the river network.

21

RivEX failed to write data to the Find Downstream Sites Table, aborting!

Results were not written to the output table, was output table file locked?

22

RivEX failed to read settings file and extract fields, aborting!

30

A topological error in the river network was encountered, you need to fix this before using this tool, aborting!

Not implemented

31

RivEX encountered intersecting river polylines whilst attempting to build the reach, aborting!

The reach polyline built is multi-part and this can only occur if the river network is intersecting itself. Use this quality control tool to help you find and remove these errors.

If your data has ZM values encoded into the network this can cause the shapely module to error, you will have to create a copy of your network free of Z and M values.

32

RivEX failed to strip ZM values from geometry, aborting!

RivEX failed to remove any ZM values inherited from network geometry. Review returned error message as it could be for multiple reasons.

59

RivEX checked the output point layer and found stacked points. These are created by the topological issue of overlapping polylines in your network, you need to remove these, see RivEX help file. The output point layer with stacked points can be found in the RivEX output geodatabase fGDB_Sampling.gdb 

A final quality control check in the sampling tools is to check if any points are stacked on top of each other. This occurs if you have overlapping polylines in your network, these can be identified using a variety of quality control tools.

60

RivEX failed to create temporary in-memory node layer, aborting!

The identify connected overlapping polylines quality control tool needs to create separate layers for from- and to- nodes and this processing step failed. Review returned error message as it could be for multiple reasons.

74

Failed to update settings file to remove references to deleted fields, aborting!

You have chosen to delete fields during the extract network topology processing step. The fields were deleted but RivEX failed to remove the references to them from the settings file. Was settings file, file locked?

75

RivEX failed to combine geometries into a multipart feature, aborting!

RivEX failed to create a multipart geometry from the polylines it built from the network. Review returned error message as it could be for multiple reasons.

76

RivEX failed to create lake edge points, aborting!

RivEX failed to create a list of lake edge points from intersecting the lake with the river network. Review returned error message as it could be for multiple reasons.

77

None of the lake polygons intersected the river network, aborting!

None of the polygons (with or without a selection) intersected the river network.  You need to review your lake data.

78

RivEX failed to filter lake edge points, aborting!

After RivEX has extracted lake edge points it needs to filter them to the user specified type. The filtering process failed. Review returned error message as it could be for multiple reasons.

79

RivEX failed to write lake edge points to output feature class, aborting!

RivEX has extracted lake edge points, filtered them down but failed during the write to output feature class. Review returned error message as it could be for multiple reasons.

80

Linear Unit Name returned an empty string, unable to determine conversion factor, aborting!

RivEX needs to determine if your input network is in metres (preferred option) or in another unit such as feet. If it is in feet it needs to convert the length supplied by you in metres into feet. To do that it queries the spatial reference of your layer but it failed to return a valid string. Ensure your network has been projected into metres and has projection information (for example this could be the case of a corrupted or missing .prj file with your shapefile).

81

Unable to acquire schema lock, do you have another application/script running that is referencing the dataset?  Aborting!

RivEX is attempting to change the schema of a dataset (i.e. add a field) but failed as there is a schema lock on the dataset. Close other applications accessing the data. The schema lock might becoming from ArcPro itself and in this case you will have to save your project, close ArcPro and reopen.

82

RivEX failed to check for conflicting field names in site layer, Aborting!

RivEX checks if the site layer contains fields with the same name as the attribution fields created by RivEX for the river network.  In ArcPro 3.2.1 there is a bug in the the field mapping that ESRI have introduced which causes the field mapping join to use the site field instead on the field coming from the river  network. The solution is to remove or rename the field in the site layer before using the tool.

83

RivEX failed to create the Subnetwork's catchment proportion statistics Table, aborting!

The Network File GeoDatabase exists but RivEX failed to create the Sub network catchment proportion statistics table. Could be a permissions settings issue? 

84

85

RivEX failed to identify source ID's, aborting!

RivEX failed to traverse the network whilst attempting to attribute it with Source ID. This is most likely to be a topological error. Review returned error message as it should have returned the last polyline ID popped off a data structure called a stack and the error is most likely in that part of the network.

86

RivEX failed to write data to the Positional table, aborting!

An error occurred whilst RivEX was writing to the Positional information table. Could be a permissions settings issue? 

87

RivEX failed to write data to the Accumulation table, aborting!

An error occurred whilst RivEX was writing to the Accumulation table. Could be a permissions settings issue? 

88

RivEX failed to accumulate values as function OptimisedAccumulateAttribute returned False, aborting!

The function OptimisedAccumulateAttribute() returned False which indicates the function failed and the error was trapped. Review previous error message as that is the source of the problem. Are the topology caches up to date?

89

RivEX failed to read topology dictionaries into graph, aborting!

RivEX failed to convert its topological dictionaries into a binary tree. Review previous error message as that is the source of the problem. Are the topology caches up to date?

90

RivEX failed to build a route from the results of a dijkstra shortest path search.

RivEX failed to create the polyline linking the two sites. This could be due to a multi-part geometry being formed (would indicate presence of a self-intersecting line) or the process of trimming the merged geometry back to the two sites. Use RivEX to quality control network to locate potential errors.

91

RivEX failed to write link route to output FeatureClass, aborting!

RivEX failed to write the the polyline links to the output Feature Class.  Review returned error message as it could be for multiple reasons.

92

Unable to build Virtual Line dictionary from network, aborting!
