Troubleshoot activation and validation
Recover from a missing primary trigger, duplicate activation attempt, cycle, or incomplete required setting.
A ready graph has exactly one primary activation that matches its permanent mode.
Primary activation is missing
Add Event Trigger in Tactical mode or Schedule Trigger in Portfolio mode. Configure its required parameters, then validate again. Safety Trigger cannot resolve a missing Portfolio primary because it is an auxiliary guard.
A trigger was replaced
Adding another primary activation replaces the existing primary activation. Use Undo immediately if that was not intended. Otherwise, configure the new trigger and reconnect the desired paths.
The graph contains a cycle
Follow the highlighted path and remove the connection that returns to an earlier node. Delay does not make a cycle valid. Rebuild the desired behavior as a forward path.
A required setting is incomplete
Select the referenced node and open Parameters. Complete the named field and any dependent control that appears. Then review Data Ports because the active connectors may have changed.
