Hi @MatheusSparapani, I actually haven't looked into this much lately.  Have you made any progress?  There has to be a way to load data into a utility network dataset that participates in the topology of the utility network. ... View more

A nearmap historical imagery widget!!!  I've been looking for this for quite awhile now.  Does anyone know of any live site that has this widget?  We will be upgrading to enterprise 11.3 later this year.  How difficult will it be to incorporate this into an experience builder site?  We are currently hosting nearmap imagery on our portal via the arcgis marketplace.  Any advice or suggestions regarding this app would be greatly appreciated! ...

Thank you for your help.  Is is possible that the "Is Dirty" field is the same as the "Status" field?  Regardless, both are set to true, so that probably isn't the issue.  Below is a snip of what happens when trying to run the export subnetwork tool.  Do you know if the entire utility network database (which includes multiple subnetworks that don't work or are useless to us) needs to be "clean"?  Or does the subnetwork that you are attempting to delete just need to be "clean"?  We will probably need to get some help from Esri technical support regarding this or from some other outside resource.   ...

Thank you, I will for sure look into adding some type of a device to represent the river.   Regarding deleting subnetworks, the Is deleted field is set to "True".  But I cannot locate a "Status" field.  The "Is dirty" field is also set to True, but when I validate topology, no dirty areas are returned.   ...

Check your Subnetwork Definition.  Do you have Manage Is Dirty set to false?  If so, your subnetwork will always report Dirty and you cannot run Export Subnetwork.  We typically ship the models with this set to False as there is cost managing a system tier and you need to opt into managing Is Dirty When I open the subnetwork table and view field details, the "ISDIRTY" field has a default value of True and the subnetwork records that I want to delete are all attributed with "True" Does there need to be an asset that serves as a subnetwork controller at the beginning of the pink line to represent the supply (river)?  No, but you could add a intake and set it up as a controller in the system tier.  This subnetwork would be a Raw water subnetwork. Any ideas on what type of feature or asset would represent the supply from a body of water such as a river?  This is not something we have currently in our data model. If I set the pumps at the plant as subnetwork controllers for a pressure subnetwork, all assets are assigned to the system subnetwork.  Wouldn't you think that everything after the pumps would be the pressure subnetwork? Yes. If you are using a pressure zone tier.  I would evaluate dropping the system tier and using the Pressure Zone tier as the rank 1 tier.  There is cost to managing a system tier if you just have one system.   We have multiple independent systems within the same utility network.  My thought was that each system would have a system subnetwork and then one or more multiple pressure systems.  In the example I referenced, maybe the raw water line from the river would be one pressure system, and a second pressure subnetwork after treatment?  How difficult is it to drop an entire system tier? How do you handle wells that feed a treatment plant? What about bodies of water that serve as a source for a system? You can set wells and intakes as controllers and create a subnetwork that feeds the plant.  The system tier really should not be one subnetwork If you have one system subnetwork, you are taking a big cost on validate.  As Validate has to trace the system and if everything is one big system, that could be costly.  If you plan on having a pressure zone tier, you can evaluate dropping the system tier and just using pressure zones.   Maybe it makes more sense to split these up into separate system subnetworks for each water system?  On the other hand, I'm not really sure what the purpose is for a system subnetwork.  We really would like to use subnetworks as the basis for isolation, upstream, and downstream tracing.  I'm thinking just having several pressure subnetworks would solve this?   ...

Thank you for your help with this!  Any ideas on what type of device you would use to represent a body of water like a river?  It's not something we currently have in our data model. When I view the subnetworks table, it is showing multiple records with the same subnetwork name with different subnetwork controllers.  I have removed all of the controllers, so i'm confused as to why they are still showing up?   ...

Thank you very much for this excellent insight!  Enabling the clear cache option has seemed to improve performance.  But the other suggestions may help us as well.  I'm thinking ESRI should put together a webinar or presentation at a future conference on this topic.  I think it is something that all ESRI users would appreciate. ...

Thanks Todd, any thoughts as to how to create a task that would add a specific set of layers to a map?  This would be after loading in a predefined map package with UN datasets.  I'm guessing, the best way would be to just republish map packages with the layers already in them. ... View more

Thank you for your suggestions!  It appears that clearing the cache has improved performance somewhat but it will take a few days to really know for sure.  We are running version 3.0.3, running locally.   Yes the UN is in an enterprise database. ... View more
