Get subnetwork controller details for the feature being created or edited

EstherSmith_Dev

Hi,

I have a requirement to inherit some attributes from a "subnetwork controller" feature when features are added or updated in a network. I am thinking of Arcade calculation attribute rule that fires on add or update. But I am struggling to query the subnetwork controller without SubnetworkName being already populated. We have a nightly process to run "update subnetwork" for all "dirty" subnetworks and we have UN set-up in non-eventing mode so that attribute rules do not fire on "Update Subnetwork" (to preserve real user editor tracking and to optimize performance etc)

I am aware that Subnetwork Controllers table can be initialised using FeatureSetByName as below

var snc_set = FeatureSetByName($datastore, 'Subnetworks', subnetwork_fields);

But without SubnetworkName field already populated for the feature, I am not sure how I can filter only the subnetwork controller for the current feature.

FeatureSetByAssociation doesn't seem to support "Subnetwork" association type.

Any other way to query/filter Subnetworks table?

Thanks,

Without running update subnetwork, you would need to run a Subnetwork Controller trace to identify the controllers and then use a process to copy attributes from the selected controller(s) to the edited features.

Thanks @MikeMillerGIS for sending this through. I will review the code and find what I can reuse. But it looks like SubnetworkName is already set on the asset and it is traversing the ancestry of the subnets.

I am working with a Australian electrical utility spread across vast area with dense urban, semi-urban and remote networks. The requirement is all new assets or changes to snapping / logical connectivity of existing assets should "inherit" some information such as "Operating Voltage", "Construction Class", "Location Urban/Rural" etc. from the SNC device. For our utility, one distribution subnetwork operates on one voltage only. Change to voltage level leads to another subnetwork.

Operating voltage and other attributes can be injected using a pop-up expression once SubnetworkName is populated by the overnight process. But the layer symbology is based on "Operating Voltage" field and scales are based on "rural", "urban" etc. So until update subnetwork runs, electric lines and junctions will display in a default symbol because operating voltage and other attributes are empty. This is confusing for the data editors. Hence the requirement to reach to the SNC in calculation attribute rule to set the values. Is it a unreasonable workflow?

Thanks,

Do you need it as an attribute? You could calculate it on demand in a pop up. You could also look at using a propagator. What kind and of info are you trying to set on each feature?

For a pop up, take a look at the Subnetwork Popup option in the Configure UN layer tool.

https://esri.github.io/Utility-Data-Management-Support-Tools/docs/3.3/ConfigureUtilityNetworkLayers.html

The code is below(This is not usable as it has the variables in it that the tool sets for you, so run the tool to get a usable version)

// This script will traverse the subnetwork table to find all neighboring and parent subnetworks

// *************       User Variables       *************
// This section has the functions and variables that need to be adjusted based on your implementation
Expects($feature, @subnetwork_fields@);
var subnetwork_name_fields = [@subnetwork_fields@];

// subnetwork_tier_names and subnetwork_tier_ranks should be an empty list for partitioned network, for hierarchical, it needs to align with subnetwork_name_fields
var subnetwork_tier_names = [@tier_names@];
var subnetwork_tier_ranks = [@tier_ranks@];

var device_source_id = null; // this line will be replaced at runtime
var junction_object_source_id = null; // this line will be replaced at runtime

var subnetwork_query_fields = ['subnetworkname', 'globalid', 'featuresourceid', 'featureglobalid', 'tierrank', 'tiername'];
// The subnetwork table in a feature service is always layer id 500002 or named Subnetworks
// The subnetwork table in a FGDB UN is based on the DSID, it will be something like UN_5_Subnetwork
var subnetwork_table = FeatureSetByName($datastore, '@subnetwork_table@', subnetwork_query_fields, false);

// The device class is the only class that can be controllers, use its map name or layer ID
// For services this is the name in the feature service or the layer ID
// In a FGDB, use the name of the feature class in the GDB
var device_table = FeatureSetByName($datastore, '@device@', [@subnetwork_fields@, 'globalid'], false);
var jo_table = FeatureSetByName($datastore, '@junction_objects@', [@subnetwork_fields@, 'globalid'], false);

// Change this to show results at different parent tiers.  0 shows only subnetworks the feature is on and its adjacent tiers
// Value needs to be positive
// 1 is all subnetworks on the current tier and all subnetwork in tier rank minus the value
// This is only for partitions
