Using python to Validate Network Topology in a version

[jclarke]

Hi all,

I am trying to write a standalone python script that does something like this

arcpy.ChangeVersion_management('unnetworklayer','BRANCH', version_name, '#', 'INCLUDE')
arcpy.ValidateNetworkTopology_un('unnetworklayer', 'DEFAULT')

The documentation says both these tools accept a "Utility Network Layer" as input. But how can I make one? I have tried MakeFeatureLayer etc.

It is a layer, like any other in your feature service. Look at your feature service, get its layer id, and use the query method to find dirty areas with a status value that indicates they need to be validated.
