Connectivity issues with multiple common supplies

Hi,
I'm having an issue where I have two water supplies supplying a common mainline with multiple outlets. The outlets all say they are connected when checked but when running mainline analysis it returns an error saying that an outlet is not connected.
I have read both posts on the subject but the points don't seem to apply here as the mainline is common therefore each supply is connected to all outlets.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for sending through the design. The issue in this particular design is that one of the water supplies is not connected. If you turn on the mainline junctions you will see a junction in the middle of the water supply.

Hi Jo
I recently had the same problem and went through your instruction here but still have the problem.
I don't have any unconnected objects when check outlet connectivity but when I start to analyze mainline it gives me an error that "system flow(zone valve or oultet) not connected to M/line".
I checked the location of outlet as it shown but still couldn't find any broken line or junction point at water sources.
Your help will be appreciated!
Thanks

The likely cause is your management - you are probably assigning the water supply to supply water to a zone that it is not connected to, as per forum post
https://www.irricad.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=676#p676.
Note that the
Check Outlet Connectivity function checks that each outlet is connected to a valve and each valve is connected to a water supply, it cannot check that your management is correct.
If you cannot find the reason for the message send your design to your local support team.
