Get started with the Migration toolset

[RobertKrisher]

Update: ArcGIS Pro 3.5 now includes the Migration toolset as well as the Utility Network Migration Wizard. The content in these articles is still relevant, however the tools no longer require a separate download and can be found in the Utility Network Toolbox in ArcGIS Pro.

Update: Comments are now locked on this thread. If you have questions, please ask in them in the ArcGIS Utility Network Questions community.

The Migration toolset is a new set of tools designed to migrate network data stored in a geodatabase to the new utility network dataset You can read more about these tools in the Introducing the utility network migration toolset article.

The tools will be officially released as part of the ArcGIS Pro 3.5 release; however, the tools are being made available in a standalone format ahead of this release to support customers who use ArcGIS Pro 3.3.

You can download the tools along with the help documentation for the tools using the link at the bottom of this post.

@RobertKrisher - Thanks for posting this. I've already had an opportunity to download the tool and use it in anger on a copy of a production GN. I'm really happy to see the Analyze Network Data tool gives you a lot of good insight into error types and resolutions. I think this will help a lot of folks out that don't know where to start.

An idea that occurred to me is, that is would be really great if we had the ability to pass the tool in target AssetGroups and AssetTypes so that the resulting UN would have things like "switchable devices" consolidated into a single asset group. The current ability to use existing subtypes to create and AssetType is fantastic, but having a little more flexibility in the UN creation would be a nice to have.

The Migration toolset is just the starting point for quickly and easily creating a like-for-like model. Once you've created that model you are free to adjust the data model however you want. We discuss the workflows for supporting evolving your data model and migration in the Migrating data to the utility network article listed above.

Because you already have switchable devices in your model, you should consider using a network category to identify the asset types in your model that are (protective, isolation, etc). Creating a network category allows you to identify specific sets of assets during analysis.
