Restrict number of connected features in a utility network

DebDrai — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 17:28:33 GMT

Hello,

One of my client works with ArcGIS Pro and Utility Network on a water distribution network. He would like to limit the number of features which can be connected to a water pipe. For example, he would like to be sure that only one hydrant can be connected to one pipe (like the rules we can add in a relationship class).

May I ask if one of you know how to do it on a utility network ? Thanks a lot for your help 🙂

Deb

Edit - Wrong post!

You would have to use an attribute rule to do this. Data Reviewer might have options to validate this without having to write the arcade logic.

If you modeled it as a containment association, this would work. Might not make logical sense (for a pipe to "contain" a hydrant"), but hey...it's a solution.

Great ! I don‘t think that my client has access to Data Reviewer but the Arcade logic is an option. Do you think more specifically of a validation or a constraint rule (I don’t use them very much) ? Thank you again.
