Communication Solutions: Data Management vs Utility Foundation

AlbaraA

Hello,

I have been trying to copy the Communication Utility Foundation environment into our ArcGIS pro project (Not Enterprise). I come across many errors, I try to fix them by reading topics here, reading the documentations, and watching videos including TGI5s. Still I'm not certain if I'm doing this correctly. 

I noticed the Data Management solution has similar feature layers. But not sure if it can handle tracing and other network topologies features. 

Is there a clear way helps us identify the differences between both solutions? 

 

Thank you,

Hello,

The Communications Data Management solution is a SaaS solution with no connectivity and works and includes maps and apps in ArcGIS Online or Portal in ArcGIS Enterprise to quickly collect, edit, and view communication assets. 

Communications Utility Network Foundation solution uses the utility network which includes network topology and tracing. Follow the steps here to get started. The ArcGIS project is included with the solution and has tasks to walk you through the solution.
