We need to programmatically load Topology rules to a feature dataset nightly. We do this because our control layer is managed by a different organization- so we have to copy in changes. To copy in changes, we first have to remove the existing topology- then bring in changes- then load rules. We'd love it if we could load our whole rule set (.rul) via Python.
Thanks for your consideration.
Unlike the manual GUI-based process of creating a geodatabase topology, arcpy's Add Topology Rule tool apparently cannot import rules from a .rul file. I am also not aware of any ability for arcpy to read or export geodatabase rules to a .rul file. (The .rul file contains topology rules and can be exported and import to/from geodatabase topologies using ArcGIS Pro.)
Please add the ability for arcpy to also read, import, and export rules from/to a .rul file (or a similar file format, e.g. text, json, etc.) as this would simplify creating and maintaining topologies.
