It should take you less than an hour to set up the wizard to migrate your data to a generic utility network (I've seen it done in as little at 10 minutes). Once you've done this you will get a list of topology errors from the utility network that enforce all its constraints with your data (stacked point features, self-intersecting lines, etc). You can then take these errors, overlay them on your source data, and correct them there. Sure you could create a workbench or some data reviewer checks to look at your data based off some assumptions about how your data might be migrated, but if there's already a quick and easy tool that can do most of this for you, included in ArcGIS Pro, why not start with that? Once you've worked through all the initial set of topology errors reported by the tool, then you could consider whether you want to migrate your data into one of the industry standard models to see how well your data matches those standards, or whether you want to build out your own configuration based on your existing model. This is covered in the resources I shared above. ... View more

The recommended way to use sequences is to use the CreateDatabaseSequence tool to create managed sequences for all the different sequences you need to be used by the attribute rule using the data owner that will need access to these sequences. You can then reference that sequence in an attribute rule's run by that database user. You can find an example in this KB article: Add Auto Sequential Values Using Attribute Rules in ArcGIS Pro. If you haven't already, please log a case with support to review the error you are receiving along with ensuring that everything is configured correctly. ... View more

Look at the first few videos and articles on this reading list for an explanation of how to approach this: ArcGIS Utility Network migration reading list If you use the migration wizard to create an initial model, it will show you all the topology errors you need to fix in your source data. Once you've done that, you can then rerun the migration, create a controller for your system, and look for disconnected elements. There are quite a few articles that talk about how to do quality assurance on topology errors in and subnetworks, you can find them in industry specific reading lists. You can find the collection of reading lists in the Getting started with the utility network page. ... View more

Because you didn't do this in a way that you can use the system to consolidate the changes (branch versioning, sync edits, etc), you will need to manually merge the edits of these three databases. I recommend you start by writing a script to compare the databases, because the Global IDs should be the same between the databases this should be relatively easy. From there you can decide whether you want to merge the changes by hand, or whether you feel comfortable writing a script or FME workbench to do the work for you. ... View more

@CPHSDnelson Deploying the data model to refer to the data dictionary is great, but before you start prototyping/piloting a data migration we recommend you try out the Migration Toolset to familiarize yourself with the utility network and, most importantly, get an accounting of your data quality. You can find a collection of data migration related resources here: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/utility-network/data-management/arcgis-utility-network-migration-reading-list You can find a collection of water utility network related resources here: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/utility-network/water/water-utility-network-reading-list   ...

@Joshua-Young @PierreloupDucroix There is an open enhancement request ENH-000175387 for this issue, and if you open a case, you can not only get attached to the enhancement request, but the support analyst should be able to walk you through a workaround that exists for this issue. ... View more

@MatteoMagnani_WT good to hear you figured out what the problem was. One of the things I've seen some other customers do to help with this problem is to ensure they are removing layers/symbology/configuration that they don't need from the map. This is especially relevant if you implemented the expanded versions of both of these models and didn't remove any of the unused asset groups/fields. Each subtype layer (asset group) contains a definition for each field (name, alias, visibility, etc) so the definition can become quite large when you include these definitions from one very large data model or two moderately complex data models. This is currently a known issue with Portal. If you log a case with support you can get yourself added to the enhancement request: ENH-000175387: Add support for changing the maximum size in bytes for POST requests sent to Portal for ArcGIS through the addition of a maxHttpPostSizeInBytes property in the ArcGIS Portal Administrator API. There is a workaround for the issue that the support analyst should be able to walk you through. ... View more

I was able to add two utility networks to a map in ArcGIS Po and share that as a web map to my portal without receiving an error. Can you share your workflow? There may be something else going on. Also, if you haven't already, please consider logging a case with support.   ... View more

If the data you took offline was created to enable replica tracking, and you took it offline using a sync-enabled web service you should be able to sync the data using field maps or ArcGIS Pro. Read the Sync your edits topic in the online help.   ... View more

There shouldn't be any problem with having feeders in the same tier feed each other, hierarchical networks do it all the time (pressure zones, isolation zones, etc). If there is a specific problem you're having, please describe it. Tiers can be renamed, but you'll need to make some major adjustments to the configuration. The intention is that you would use the existing tiers for modeling the corresponding subnetworks for each station (substation, switching station, etc). A typical substation may have a transmission side and a distribution side the intention is that the transmission side belongs to the transmission tier and the distribution side belongs to the distribution tier. If you create your own tier, you'll need to consider carefully how you do this. ... View more

Great article! I'll keep an eye out for more in the future. Using GIS to provide deeper insights into infrastructure investment is always an important and interesting topic. I wrote a short series, from a utility perspective, that shows how an organization can use their GIS data along with freely available datasets to make their planning process more spatially (and network!) aware. In particular I think you'll find the third article most interesting, where I talk about incorporating demographic information into the prioritization process instead of just looking at reliability and cost.
