Here's my situation -
Over the past couple months I've been testing the migration process as outlined in this tutorial
I started with the water essentials model that ships with water utility network foundation. I've extended this somewhat from the expanded model, as well as making customizations needed for my organization. So far have been overall successful migrating from my geometric network into a local file geodatabase Utility Network.
I'm now to the point where I'm ready to test bringing my local fgdb utility network asset package into my sde and portal environments. My enterprise portal and AGS are both still at 10.9.1 since our org is still highly dependent on ArcGIS desktop. It's my understanding 10.9.1 is only compatible with UN5. There's an option on the latest version of ArcGIS Pro 3.5.1 untools, Asset Package to Geodatabase, to create Utility Network Version 5. However when running this it errors out with this message "The Utility Network must be version 6 or higher". I've tried to run the tool saving to version 6 (knowing this wont work with my portal, but just to test), and that errors out differently, complaining that "FLOW DIRECTION does not exist within table"
Asset Package to Geodatabase choosing Current, Compatible, or 7, works fine.
I've also tried the approach of Stage Utility Network (choosing UN5) to my sde, then Applying Asset Package, it also errors out.
Is there any path for me to bring a newly created asset package or UN into UN5 in my 10.9.1 enterprise? I have the feeling it's not working because I started with a newer data model then what UN5 will support.
