Change Network Data Source for Single Layer from Local Network Data Set to ArcGIS Online

RyanSnead

Hello,

I'm working on a project using the Service Area feature of the Network Analyst extension. Initially, I created a service area layer with a local network data set, StreetMap Premium, but I no longer have access to that data. Further, I didn't export the feature as a shapefile. So currently the service area layer is sitting in my project file with a red exclamation point next to it's name and won't show up since it's not connected to the data source. Is it possible to now change the data source for that specific layer to the ArcGIS Online Portal so that I can use it again? The network data source for the project file is already set to the ArcGIS Online Portal but it only works for new network analyst layers. My previous service area requires a very large amount of credits so I unfortunately can't rerun the analysis with the online portal. 

Thanks for your help!

Right, the layer is broken, but the underlying feature class holding the data is okay.  You can just use that feature class or copy it elsewhere.  You can add it to the map as a separate standalone layer.

1. In the map, right-click the Polygons sublayer and choose Properties.
2. When the Properties dialog opens, click Source on the left.
3. Check the table for the filepath to the geodatabase where the data is stored and the name of the feature class.  It will be called something like SAPolygons28e168.  (The feature classes are named automatically, so it will contain some random alphanumeric characters.)  Also look at the Feature Dataset because the feature class is actually in there.  So the full path will be something like <path>\MyProject.gdb\ServiceAreaSolver1bqfp70\SAPolygons28e168
4. You can access this file geodatabase in the Catalog pane.  It's probably best if you copy that polygons feature class somewhere else and rename it so you don't forget what it is.
