Cause:
======
OwnerPath for some of the properties of /Concepts/OdN/ODN(declared concept) are set with null("") which are not correct.

e.g.   &ltproperties name="nombreOdN" ownerProjectName="ODN" ownerPath=""/>

The correct value should be:

  &ltproperties name="nombreOdN" ownerProjectName="ODN" ownerPath="/Concepts/OdN/ODN"/>

We have seen this issue while moving concept by drag/drop the concept on the project tree. The suggested way for moving a concept is by "Refactor --> Move".

Resolution:
=========
1). Drop and recreated the concept which has this problem.

2). Open the declared concept with text editor, set OwnerPath with correct value.

e.g.  &ltproperties name="nombreOdN" ownerProjectName="ODN" ownerPath="/Concepts/OdN/ODN"/>
