What is the difference between the Stop and the barrier in the tracing? ArcGIS pro v3.7

I have tried to do a tracing with a starting point and a stop also this is the new update called stop in the Utility Network, i just want to understand what it does, cuz i tried to add a stop but the trace happened even though, should it supposed to stop the trace right?

Stop points are only used by the Path trace. We describe the Path trace and the new parameters you're seeing in this article: What's new for ArcGIS Utility Network with the 2026 Network Management Release

i tried path trace on the electric foundation data and i got path not found error, so how to run this trace effectively for me to get results?

RobertKrisher

@angiexx1 Doing a Path trace is an electric network is not recommended because it will ignore the flow direction of terminals and your sources. Having said that, its probably not finding a path because either your max hops is too low or the features belong to different circuits (i.e. there is no traversable path between the two points).

so the path trace trace is recommended only for the telecom network?

RobertKrisher

The Path trace doesn't use subnetworks. This means that it shouldn't be used when subnetworks, propagation, or directional terminal configuration would affect the outcome of a trace. Its also designed to evaluate multiple paths and choose the most suitable path. If you evaluate each domain using that criteria you'll see that electric distribution networks are not suitable for the Path trace. The Path trace is useful for Telecom or other networks where you have a significant amount of indeterminate flow you need to evaluate (gas, water, electric transmission).
