It is the heart of our infrastructure, maintenance records, meter/customer data. Recently, I have started building our Utility Network from ArcSolutions to utilize the tracing and analysis capabilities.</P><P>Goal: Combine the File GDB and the Utility Network into a single central Geodatabase so I am not updating infrastructure data/attributes in (2) separate models/databases.&nbsp;</P><P>Request: What is best business practice that can be recommended for accomplishing this goal?&nbsp;</P><P>Appreciate it</P> Fri, 05 Jun 2026 17:58:35 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-utility-network-questions/combine-utility-network-and-file-gdb-into-one/m-p/1706610#M7000 ModernElectric 2026-06-05T17:58:35Z Re: Combine Utility Network and File GDB into one https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-utility-network-questions/combine-utility-network-and-file-gdb-into-one/m-p/1706635#M7002 <P>You can extend the data model in the utility network geodatabase to contain additional tables and relationships for maintenance records, etc. The features that were migrated into the utility network should not be in the new model, because they are now represented by the utility network features.</P> Fri, 05 Jun 2026 19:19:45 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-utility-network-questions/combine-utility-network-and-file-gdb-into-one/m-p/1706635#M7002 RobertKrisher 2026-06-05T19:19:45Z
