Find details about wrong connectors found by Project Integrity Check

[Jacob Vos]

I ran Project Integrity Check and get a list of 'Invalid connector' problems with as proposed action to delete them. I can choose for 'Recover/Clean' but that's a black box. I want to know where those connectors are defined - maybe I need to correct something, and simply removing them may introduce omissions in my model. Alas even the package is not mentioned by Project Integrity Check.

How can I find details about those connectors?

I suspect it are connectors that are orphans. So I thought to found those via SQL select * from t_connector, and then filter on empty SourceElement or empty DestElement. However: for all connectors those fields are empty.

You can't. Sparxians are silent about that. Just run that cleanup once a week. To me it never did any harm (though they do their best to make you scared using it).

P.S. And I forgot: it often remedies "strange behavior" of EA. It's like you need to steam-clean the sink from time to time to get rid of the hairs clogging it more and more.

Generally speaking an 'Invalid Connector' is not likely to be linked to any package. One or both of the connector ends do not reference a valid object. Even if EA gave you the id or guid of the connector there's not enough information to know what the intention was.
