Utility Network for Utility Network Management Extension (Esri)

SpatialNinja — Fri, 26 Jan 2018 01:03:34 GMT

With the release of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6 and ArcGIS Pro 2.1, the Utility Network Management extension is offered as a comprehensive solution to managing utility and telecom networks (telecom model not available with first release). Core tools within the Utility Network Toolbox can be used to create and configure the utility network. For automation purposes, the Utility Network Package Tools from the ArcGIS solutions team are available with asset packages for electric, gas, and water domains.

Use this discussion thread to voice any questions and discuss the new Utility Network on the Utility Network Management Extension. Learn More: https://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2018/01/23/vision-and-overview-of-the-utility-network/

So where do I actually find the asset packages for electric, gas, and water domains? Is there a link I can download from or MyESRI?

Hi UN team,

I am able to configure Gas Utility Network from the gas_asset package. When I deploy Gas Network Editor from ArcGIS Solutions, I get an error message: Could not convert string to float: '2.1.1'

Gas Network Viewer is deployed successfully.

Any ideas to fix this?

Thanks

Hi,

Is it or will it be possible to create a Utility Network from ArcMAP ?
Will the Utility Network Toolbox or part of it be supported by ArcMAP ?
More generally, What ArcMAP users will be able to do (via REST if I understood well) with Utility Networks ? (visualisation, editing, analysis)

Thank you

Anyone else running into this issue?

Working with the Electric Distribution Utility Network deployment, if I set my internal Portal as the 'Active Portal' then try to 'Deploy' the solution I get the error 'Failed to Add'.

If I sign out of my Portal and set AGOL as the active portal, ArcGIS Pro will allow me to Deploy the solution. It appears to be broken in terms of adding the solution to the internal Portal.

Hi T D,

Thanks for the questions.

1) The ArcGIS Utility Network Management Extension was designed to be run in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6 and above and most of the heavy lifting (edits, analytics and other good stuff) is limited to ArcGIS Pro at the moment. We anticipate further enhancements across web and mobile solutions. The utility network utilizes a new form of branch versioning which unfortunately ArcMap is unable to recognize even though the feature service is published through REST endpoints like other services.

2) The tools provided for utility network support are currently available only in ArcGIS Pro.

3) Unfortunately, ArcMap is unable to recognize the new versioning through REST services.

I hope this answers your questions.

Hi UN Team,

We are running into a strange issue. We have successfully published UN service on ArcGIS Server. The service does not start by default. We receive an error message as below

Unable to obtain license for Utility Networks.

We have a valid UN extension license, and are able to see the same in ArcGIS Server authorizations in ArcGIS Server manager. Is this a bug. Did we miss any configurations (We have used the default Electric Distribution Utility Network provided by ESRI)

Can you please provide a resolution.

regards

Rakesh

Check with your sales team to make sure you have the right authorization file for the utility network publishing. If you continue to have issues please let me know and I will follow up with the utility network team.

I'm struggling to find an actual Asset Package to download (*.gdb file). I've staged the Electric Utility Network, now trying to Apply the Asset Package. Is this something I need to go to my distributor to obtain? I tried to Export an Asset Package from the network created in the Staging step just to generate something but that generates an error - ERROR 000001 Export is not supported on structure only utility networks (and doesn't logically make sense to export from something not yet created, but I tried anyway). The link provided to the ArcGIS solutions page seems to send me in a loop searching for something to actually download.
Thanks for any assistance or pointers in the right direction.
