ArcGIS Pro 2.1.0: Remove Subtype failed with error

AbhijeetKulkarni

Hi all,

I am using ArcGIS Pro 2.1.0 with utility network data model. I have added couple of subtypes for assembly FC. If I try to delete one Subtype using 'remove subtype' tool, OR with 'create/manage' pane of subtype and save it, it fails with below error.

ERROR 002140: The subtype is required by utility network. Failed to execute (RemoveSubtype).

There are no custom domains assigned to it. Am I missing something to remove/change before removing subtype?

This issue is listed in 'Known issues' list.

When you attempt to remove a subtype on a utility network feature class which is required for the utility network, an error number of '999999' is given.

Hi Paul,

when attempting to drop AssetGroup "Bond Junction" from WaterJunction feature class - The error message says it is "in use by another domain or subtype"

The deletion is happening against the Utility Network itself not the package.

The workflow we are attempting to use is

- stage and create the UN in our ArcGIS Enterprise geodb from the starter WaterDistribution_AssetPackage (without loading the data)

- change the coordinate system to match our needs

- disable the UN

- modify the schema of the classes in the UN to match our data requirements

- update the rules and associations to match the new schema

- re-enable UN

- export as a new local package

- use the fgdb in the package as a template for a staging file database

- use FME and simple loader tools to populate the staging fgdb

- load the Enterprise GeoDB from the staging fgdb

- enable branch versioning, etc...

David,

What error are you receiving? Are you deleting the subtypes from the asset package (which is file geodatabase) or your utility network (which is an enterprise geodatabase)?

We too are having the problem that we cannot remove assetgroups from the standard WaterDistribution Asset Package.

At the latest versions of UN 2.2, ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6.1, UNTools 2.2.1, and ArcGIS Pro 2.2.1.

We can add assetgroups/subtypes OK - just not drop tem.

Is it possibly an AttributeRule causing a lock? I cant work out how to find these.

just wanted to check that a similar rule wasn't applied to subtype... ie it isn't being used elsewhere

Dan Patterson, Its correct for domain. Domain can be created independently and then assigned to any subtype as per need so to delete that domain it shouldn't be assigned anywhere.My case is with subtype itself.

Different error but similar situation

To delete a domain, it cannot be assigned to any fields in a table (with or without subtypes), or be a required domain in the utility network.
