Unfortunately, the logging of the build network geoprocessing tool is not cumulative. This is also explained in the documentation: "Build errors are also written to a BuildErrors.txt file in the temp directory. This file only stores the errors from the last build performed; so it is not cumulative." (Fixing the errors reported after building the network—Help | ArcGIS Desktop ) This is not very handy since the build process can sometimes run several hours. Especially ArcGIS Pro promotes chaining or batching geoprocessing tasks with the task pane. As a user I want to be able to run several build processes successively and check the logs sometimes only at the next day. With the current implementation, log files from older build processes are overwritten. It would be more helpful and would support the design of ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing better, if logs are written in subfolders per process, or if log file names are time-stamped. ... View more

In general there are two types of a network build: initial build considering the entire network dataset consecutive builds considering edges in a cleaning area A build in the cleaning area happens if some streets or streets attributes were edited. Only the affected edges are re-calculated, which makes it pretty fast. However, if streets covering a large area or many areas are edited, calculating the cleaning area and calculating the build in the cleaning areas might take longer than an initial build. In these cases, in Desktop it helps to edit the network attributes, which causes a full, initial-like build process. This is more a workaround. An option to select the build type before running the build, in the build tool, would be desireable. In an SDE database it is not even possible to edit network attributes. It is not possible to run an initial-like build in an SDE database after editing many streets. The option to skip the calculation of cleaning areas resp. to enforce a full, initial-like build with a parameter in the build-tool is really required. ... View more
