Disable Network Topology in a Version

EdwardBlair — Sun, 23 Dec 2018 18:02:35 GMT

This seems like a bug, but I may be missing something. Here are the steps I follow:

1. Change to a new version in my published utility network service.

2. Find I want to attempt a change that requires network topology to be disabled.

3. Execute the "Disable Network Topology" GP tool. This completes successfully.

4. Want to re-enable so I attempt to "Enable Network Topology"

5. This results in an error with the message "Operation is only supported on the DEFAULT version"

6. When I return to the DEFAULT version I see that Network Topology remains enabled, just like I left it.

So it seems its possible to *disable* network topology on a version below DEFAULT but not possible to re-enable it. If I've missed something any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thx,

It works this way to support bulk data editing workflows (e.g., when a new section of the network is brought over from a data conversion vendor).

1. Disable topology in a version

2. Perform bulk updating of data (faster without topology)

3. Reconcile and post

I hope this helps.
