I am hoping there is someone that has some experience with the Utility Network 4 Dirty Areas layer. The Utility Network no longer renders dirty areas as point, line, and polygon features, but just a single polygon layer. Also, the attribute data for storing error information is very different, with bitwise operations to store attributes etc. I have read the ESRI documentation about these changes, but I still have many questions. Status and Error Code attributes are confusing me. I understand the bitwise operations that lead to the Status and Error Code attributes, but only for simple one step operations. I do not understand where the values for these fields come from once you start combining errors to the same feature(s). Anyone have experience with decoding this new approach to error management? Where is the detailed explanation or algorithm for this stuff?
Here is electric Utility Network 4. I stacked two electric devices and then changes their asset type to unknown also.
In my edit-only.png image (After applying edits)...
1. Why did Status change from 8 to 9 when I added a second edit? I understand that Status code 8 corresponds with "3—Feature error". But, what is 9?
2. In this image I do understand the Error Codes, but was surprised that the Error Message attributes are all Null. Why is that?
In my validate-also.png (After running validation)...
3. The Status attributes switched back to 8 after validating. Why? So, this is kind of the same question as number 1.
4. I understand the Error Code values here...they correspond to error 8, 34 and 35. But still the Error Message attributes are all Null? Why?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
