The Network Review/Fix utilities are a network of tools used to identify and automatically correct any network topology problems, including disconnected nodes and data flaws, such as duplicated pipes or nodes.
After locating and fixing nodes in close proximity, the next Network Review/Fix tool to use is Locate/Fix Pipe-Split Candidates. This tool identifies locations where pipes may need to be broken, such as a pipe not breaking at a T-intersection.
All pipe candidates are added to the domain. The Message Board reports that one location is found.
The pipe that was in the domain is now split into two pipes, and the new pipe is no longer displayed in red, as its new ID is not in the domain. All attributes are copied into the database for the newly added pipe, except for length, which is recalculated by the Auto Length Calculation preference that is enabled in this example.
IMPORTANT: This fix causes a disconnect from the one-to-one relationship with the GIS, and could be flagged to your GIS department to fix and re-import.
