create association line not working after importing associations

PierreloupDucroix — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 04:00:08 GMT

Hi,

I recently imported a bunch of associations using the ImportAssociations toolbox in python.

I now want to use UDMS's "create association line" toolbox in ArcGIS Pro to visualize containment associations with lines.

The toolbox returns no lines, until I add new associations manually, or modify any existing association (removing then recreating)...

Do you know what I can do to make it work for all imported associations ?

Thanks

Can you turn on debug mode and share the messages?

Open the toolbox and a tool

Open python window and type

import udms

udms.logging.setLevel('DEBUG')

I have this error :

udms.logging.setLevel('DEBUG')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'udms' has no attribute 'logging'

Sorry, .logger

Not at my computer and typed it by memory

Here is the result :

Hmm, not much help. Will have to try to repo. Is this services or Fgdb/mgdb

Btw, those options should only give you attachments lines. Connectivity it set to false

This is a mobile geodatabase

Yes but same things happens for each type of associations

Create Association Lines relies on Feature.AssociationStatus field for synthesizing geometries. If this field gets out of sync with the association table, some associations will not be included.

After importing the associations, can you run Summarize Utility Network Errors (another GP tool in UDMS) with "Identify Association Inconsistencies"? If the output table has records, that will confirm this bug.

Hi Paul,

the "association status" field is always set to None, while the "Expected status" contains valid values like Container...

Also when creating UN system table views, the Association view always has "Status" = 0

The issue is probably with import associations then.

Is your network topology disabled? I've reproduced a similar issue internally with import associations, but only when topology is disabled on mobile geodatabase.

Hi Paul,

I am migrating data, so my topology is disabled.

Importing my associations after enabling the topology solved the problem.

But after importing 170 000 associations, it takes a while to validate topology (40 mn), so it is not a good solution in my migration process.

[EDIT] :

Instead of validating network topology, I found it really, really, really faster to disable, then re-enable topology :

The code :

# arcpy.ValidateNetworkTopology_un(un, 'Default')
arcpy.un.DisableNetworkTopology(
    in_utility_network=un,
)
arcpy.un.EnableNetworkTopology(
    in_utility_network=un,
    max_number_of_errors=1000000,
    only_generate_errors="ENABLE_TOPO"
)
