Hello Dirk,
Same issue here.
After some research and multiple prompts (your case helped me), here is the AI verdict:
Trace Networks published as ArcGIS Enterprise services do NOT allow moving network features and non-network features together.
This is an Esri-imposed structural limitation, not a setting you can change.
Even if:
the Trace Network topology is disabled,
network features can be moved individually,
non-network features can be moved,
➡️ArcGIS Enterprise blocks multi-layer moves when a Trace Network feature class is involved.
Network features are treated as “protected” when coming from a feature service.
Why Esri enforces this restriction
Because in an Enterprise environment:
the Trace Network must maintain strict coherence
connectivity and topology validation happen server-side
ArcGIS Pro cannot “locally” manage a temporary state where a bulk move breaks connectivity
So:
➡️multi-layer moves = blocked
➡️single network-feature moves = permitted
I guess this is pretty similar for Utility Networks.
Best regards,
Charles
