Movings points in my geometric network to their absolute X,Y obtained through GPS (part 2)

I have the same issue as TanMay and was able to use this script to move some points based on the new X,Y coordinates. Thanks! Unfortunately as soon as I created a geometric network I got an error:

line 17, in <module>

for row in Cur:

RuntimeError: Unspecified error

Is there a way to get this script to work with a geometric network?

I also get this error when I try to run the script in ArcMap:

RuntimeError: The modified geometry must be a different geometry instance from the feature's original geometry (e.g., a copy or new instance). [class name = ServiceLocations, object id = 4]

Without knowing the details it is difficult to say. Type of db?

Are you saying that the points are participating in a network?

You may have to wrap the update cursor loop in an editor session.

I am using a file geodatabase and my points are participating in a geometric network. Esri provided this information:

34792 - The modified geometry must be a different geometry instance from the feature's original geometry (e.g., a copy o…

But I'm confused as to how to use the workaround. I need my lines to move with my points (as if I were using the "Move To" editing tool).

Did you ever figure this out? I am getting the same issue. Geometric network in a .sde database.

I'm getting the same error message in Schneider Electric ArcFM's Disconnect Tool in 10.6.1 if the SHAPE column is the first editable field in the list. I would like to know what version of ArcGIS Desktop this specific check was added. I don't think this check was in 10.2.1 because it works OK there, but it definitely is in 10.6.1.

The main idea is that you can't set the SHAPE column value = the same SHAPE column value. You have to use IFeature.ShapeCopy to get a copy of the geometry or create a whole new geometry then set THAT into the feature's SHAPE column.
