DBDOC NO SOURCE GRAPHIC.ERR

This message can tell you "configuration built" or "configuration not built".

This message means that two things are true:

Here are the ways that this message can come about:

  1. The block comes from an external source like PI or FDI that you have not defined to be external.
  2. The block comes from a module that was not built.
  3. Some element of the loop, PCU or module (and block), or a combination of these, defined for the tag is incorrect.

You should make sure that the blocks exist first. In the third case above, it is often the case that the error is in the definition of the tag and the block does not, in fact exist (see the second example). Also, you should check groups of blocks to make sure that the rules that define blocks that are external are being followed.

Note also that you can mark the blocks as being available for monitoring only in case 3. In cases 1 and 2, DBDOC cannot get a value for the block, which is the same as Composer and WinTools, because the source is not actually a module within a real PCU.


Generating index: Module 4,50,02 Block Index
No source: Graphic: Module 4,50,02 Block 1703 (CRD-MO-618) used - configuration built.

In this example, the tag named exists in the database, and was used on a graphic. However, the source block for the tag was not found on CLD or CAD sheets that were built. See numbers 1 and 3 above.

If there is no external source for these tags, the operator graphics cannot display a correct value for them.

No source: Graphic: Module 4,01,02 Block 1006 (RCMLOADSHED) used - no configuration information.

Here we can see that the first block is well off on its own, meaning it may be an orphan, and a potential error. The big section of consecutive blocks is probably correct, but should be checked anyway.

If the blocks actually exist, you can use BuildPlus | Tools | Project Options | Define to define them and eliminate the error message.

This error can be built directly into Hyperview. For more information, see the article Building error reports into the M14.
