Closest Facility Error

Question

I am getting a solution error while running the closest facility analysis in ArcGIS Pro

1. I created a network dataset using a road network (in arccatalog), two different points feature layers. I did that in a geodatabase after having all feature classes in a multi-feature dataset. All the feature layers in the gdb have the same geographic coordinate system.

2. Then in ArcGIS Pro, I start a closest facility layer and add the same two point  feature layers to incidents and facilities. There are 522 incidents and 28 facilities. I "snap" them so they are connected with the network.

3. Then I run the analysis and I get no solution - i.e. the analysis is not able to find any facility for any incident. (attaching a picture).

Can anyone tell me what could the problem be?

Hi Vikas,

I'm glad that removing the incidents and facilities as sources of your network dataset helped. So are you still getting the error that no facilities were found for your incidents?

As to what you are trying to do, if I'm understanding it correctly, if you like the output routes that the CF solver generates, you could run the "Copy Traversed Source Features" tool to get all the individual road segments, then do a spatial join with them back to the original street segments, so that you get streets with all the attributes of the generated routes and of the original streets. Does that sound like what you want?

thanks!! removing them from sources helped..

Thank Rachel!

Removing the points from the network dataset sources helped. But I had done that when I read it as a suggestion on one of thiese forum questions..

I am still struggling with what I am essentially trying to do. May be you can help.

My network is a very simple one. Basically a simple road network throughout the country and then I want to connect one set of points with another. Length is what I have used as the impedance. Other than the length - the route edges also have some descriptors like speedclass and speed. I want to eventually have these speed classes recorded for the routes found after the "closest facility" analysis. I was told on this forum to use "copy traversed source features". I used that tool... but all I am able to get are the separate lengths of all the edges along every route. I want to know the speedclasses as well (which I had added as network elements during creating the dataset.
