# Validation Issue Glossary

## Errors

### `PYTHON`

These issues are generated when a Python error prevents complete validation.

#### `ERROR:PYTHON:EXCEPTION`

Error TemplateCheckResults

Unexpected Python exception occurred. Please report this as a bug. This may or may not be due to an issue in the geodatabase, but even if it is, the issue should be accounted for by the tool and handled appropriately.

See also

Similar issues pertaining to specific cases include ERROR:NGUID:DUPLICATE, ERROR:ADDRESS:DUPLICATE, and ERROR:ADDRESS_RANGE:OVERLAP.

### `NGUID`

These issues pertain specifically to the validity of NGUIDs.

#### `ERROR:NGUID:FORMAT`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The format of the NGUID is incorrect.

#### `ERROR:NGUID:V2_FORMAT`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The format of the NGUID matches the format used by Version 2.2 of the Standard instead of the current version.

#### `ERROR:NGUID:AGENCY`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The Agency ID portion of the NGUID does not exist, i.e., it is not in the `
AGENCYID` domain.

#### `ERROR:NGUID:LAYER`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The layer portion of the NGUID does not match the name of the feature class.

#### `ERROR:NGUID:DUPLICATE`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

Local_ID` attribute) should be changed.

### `ADDRESS`

#### `ERROR:ADDRESS:DUPLICATE`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

An address point’s address-related fields, when combined, match those of another address point.

### `ADDRESS_RANGE`

#### `ERROR:ADDRESS_RANGE:OVERLAP`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

Address ranges of `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` features overlap. This means that, after considering `
Parity_L`/`
Parity_R` there is numerical overlap between one feature’s `
Add_L_To` or `
Add_R_To` and another feature’s `
Add_L_From` or `
Add_R_From`. The features’ `
FullName` and (as appropriate) `
MSAGComm_L` or `
MSAGComm_R` must also be equal for this issue to occur.

#### `ERROR:ADDRESS_RANGE:DECREASING`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

A `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature has a from-address value greater than that side’s to-address value, i.e., `
Add_L_From` > `
Add_L_To` or `
Add_R_From` > `
Add_L_To`. Address ranges should always go from low to high.

### `ROAD_ESN`

#### `ERROR:ROAD_ESN:DEVIATION`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

A `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature does one or more of the following in relation to `
ESZ_BOUNDARY` features:

- Passes through an intersection of ESZ polygon borders

- Follows the border of an ESZ polygon for part, but not all, of the road’s length

#### `ERROR:ROAD_ESN:CROSSING`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

A `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature crosses the border of one or more `
ESZ_BOUNDARY` features. The road may have an endpoint on a border, but it may not cross a border.

#### `ERROR:ROAD_ESN:OUT_OF_BOUNDS`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

At least part, if not all, of a `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature is neither inside an `
ESZ_BOUNDARY` feature nor along a border.

### `PARITY`

These issues are related to the parity attributes of `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` features.

Note

In this section:

- Side refers to the left or right side of a `
  ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature

- Parity refers to a `
  ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature’s `
  Parity_L` or `
  Parity_R` attribute

- From-address refers to a `
  ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature’s `
  Add_L_From` or `
  Add_R_From` attribute

- To-address refers to a `
  ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature’s `
  Add_L_To` or `
  Add_R_To` attribute

Features can have these issues on both sides. In that case, each side will have its own row in the error table.

#### `ERROR:PARITY:EXPECTED_ZERO`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

On a given side, the parity is `ZERO`, but the from-address and/or to-address is not set to `0`.

#### `ERROR:PARITY:EXPECTED_NONZERO`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

On a given side, the parity is not `ZERO`, but the from-address and/or to-address is set to `0`.

#### `ERROR:PARITY:MISMATCH`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

On a given side, the parity does not make sense given the from-address and to-address. As examples:

- The range 101-199 could be `ODD` or `BOTH` but not `EVEN` or `ZERO`

- The range 200-299 must be `BOTH`.

#### `ERROR:PARITY:INVALID`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The parity is not in the `
PARITY` domain.

#### `ERROR:PARITY:NULL`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The parity is null.

### `LEGACY`

#### `ERROR:LEGACY:MISMATCH`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

A legacy attribute is not consistent with its corresponding next-gen attribute. For example, if `
StreetType = ROAD`, then `
LgcyType = RD` must be true.

### `GEOCODE`

These issues pertain to the relationship between `
ADDRESS_POINT` and `
ROAD_CENTERLINE`.

#### `ERROR:GEOCODE:UNKNOWN_MATCH`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

No `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature with the given `
NGUID_RDCL` exists.

#### `ERROR:GEOCODE:WRONG_SIDE`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The `
RCLMatch` is correct, but the `
RCLSide` is not consistent with the address range parity on that side of the road.

#### `ERROR:GEOCODE:BOTH_SIDES`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The address matches both the left and right sides of the road.

#### `ERROR:GEOCODE:WRONG_COMMUNITY`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The `
ADDRESS_POINT` feature’s `
MSAGComm` attribute doesn’t match the `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature’s `
MSAGComm_L` (if `
RCLSide = LEFT`) or `
MSAGComm_R` (if `
RCLSide = RIGHT`), but the addresses otherwise match.

#### `ERROR:GEOCODE:OUT_OF_RANGE`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The `
ADDRESS_POINT` feature’s `
AddNumber` attribute is not within the `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature’s address range on the given side.

#### `ERROR:GEOCODE:NAME_MISMATCH`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The `
ADDRESS_POINT` feature’s street name attributes do not match those of the `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature.

### `CONSISTENCY`

#### `ERROR:CONSISTENCY:ADDRESS_ESN`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The `
ADDRESS_POINT` feature is located in an `
ESZ_BOUNDARY` feature with a different `
ESN` attribute.

#### `ERROR:CONSISTENCY:ROAD_ESN`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

The `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature’s `
Esn_L` does not match the `
ESN` attribute of the `
ESZ_BOUNDARY` feature on the road’s left side, or the `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature’s `
Esn_R` does not match the `
ESN` attribute of the `
ESZ_BOUNDARY` feature on the road’s right side.

#### Unused Codes

##### `ERROR:CONSISTENCY:COMMUNITY`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

This code is defined but not currently used.

### `GEOMETRY`

#### `ERROR:GEOMETRY:TOPOLOGY`

Error FieldValuesCheckResults

There is a topology rule violation that is not marked as an exception (using the `
TopoExcept` field).

## Warnings

### `GENERAL`

#### `WARNING:GENERAL:LEADING_TRAILING_SPACE`

Warning FieldValuesCheckResults

An attribute begins or ends with a space character.

### `CONSISTENCY`

#### `WARNING:CONSISTENCY:ROAD_LEVEL`

Warning FieldValuesCheckResults

All `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` features that intersect at a point must have the same value in their `
FromLevel` or `
ToLevel` attributes (as appropriate, depending on whether each feature is starting or ending at that point), unless, in reality, there is grade separation between intersecting roads, such as with a freeway overpass.

### `GEOMETRY`

These issues are related to the actual geometry of a feature.

#### `WARNING:GEOMETRY:CUTBACK`

Warning FieldValuesCheckResults

A `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature has a vertex with a particularly sharp angle between segments of less than 55 degrees.

#### `WARNING:GEOMETRY:SHORT_SEGMENT`

Warning FieldValuesCheckResults

A `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature has a particularly short segment of less than 5 meters.

## Notices

### `GDB`

#### `NOTICE:GDB:MISSING_OPTIONAL_DATASET`

Notice TemplateCheckResults

The optional feature dataset, `
OptionalLayers`, is missing from the geodatabase.

#### `NOTICE:GDB:MISSING_OPTIONAL_FEATURE_CLASS`

Notice TemplateCheckResults

An optional feature class is missing from the optional feature dataset.

### `CONSISTENCY`

#### `NOTICE:CONSISTENCY:ROAD_ESN`

Notice FieldValuesCheckResults

A `
ROAD_CENTERLINE` feature lies on the border of an `
ESZ_BOUNDARY` feature that it does not share with another ESZ feature. That is, there is an ESZ feature on one side of the road but not on the other. This Notice is only generated when `
ESN = 0`.
