About Data Errors

In most cases, data error messages indicate that the trips have been changed (inserted, deleted, or modified) so that the trip/block data no longer matches the run data.

When the system loads the runs into the Runcutting screen and it encounters data discrepancies, it asks you if you want to uncut the problem runs. The usual way to repair the data is to save the runcut, re-extract the reliefs with the Update Relief Events feature, and then reload the runcut.
Note: The “?” in the error messages represents the RunId and piece numbers of the problem runs.

Some statements that may be produced in the Trapeze CDBLOG (Database log) are:

  • RunId ? has a mismatching starting TripId in piece?"
  • RunId ? has a mismatching starting StopNum in piece?"
  • RunId ? has a mismatching starting EventType in piece?"
  • RunId ? has a mismatching ending TripId in piece?"
  • RunId ? has a mismatching ending StopNum in piece?"
  • RunId ? exists in the TripTimes table but not in the run tables. This means that the given RunId is stamped on some trip times but the run itself does not exist.
  • RunId ? has ? pieces in the Run table and %hd pieces according to the TripTimes table. This means that the runs tables indicate that the runs have some number of pieces, but the RunIds on the TripTimes indicate that the run has a different number of pieces.
  • RunId ?, piece ? has no reliefs. This means that something is wrong with the reliefs in the TripTimes table (since a piece must contain at least two reliefs).
  • RunId ? has a mismatching ending EventType in piece?". This means that the pieces point to a start/end trip time that is not really the start/end of a piece according to how the RunIds are stamped in the TripTimes table.

If any of these errors occur, a message appears. For example, if there is no run in the MasterRun table (that is, the RunId appears only in the TripTimes table), this message appears: "A piece mismatches with trips. Do you want to uncut it?” If there is a run in the Master Run table, the following message appears: "Run ? mismatches with trips. Do you want to uncut it?"
