I have imported the associations and validated the topology , The rules exist it did not create any dirty area though . But When I check in the association pane it showing the error the item that participates in containment association is invalid @RobertKrisher
AssignTerminalConnections on an already-released Utility Network (branch versioned)
Hi everyone, I need to assign terminal connections using the AssignTerminalConnections tool. The issue is that the Utility Network is already deployed in an enterprise environment, so branch versioning is enabled, and the tool fails with: TypeError: cannot update branch versioned table. The workflow I had in mind is: *…
Owned By Data not Migrating Correctly
We are currently migrating a data from GTECH to Esri UN using an Electric AP . In the Asset package the features have null in ownedby attributes . When We apply the AP to Enterprise the NULL values are coming as with Default value which we dont want to happen . How to fix this ? @RobertKrisher @MikeMillerGIS
Modeling hot standby circuit breakers
What is the best way to represent an open hot standby circuit breaker in an electric utility network that needs to be geometrically connected to two separate subnetwork names? If this were any other device, this circuit breaker would have SUBNAME1::SUBNAME2, but this is not possible because the CB is the subnetwork…
Difference between UN Package Tools and UN Tools

ESRI Recommendation for Incremental Loading of ~8 Billion Records into an Existing Utility Network
We need to migrate approximately 8 billion records into a PostgreSQL Enterprise Geodatabase containing an ArcGIS Utility Network. Due to data volume limitations, the data will be loaded incrementally in multiple batches into the same Utility Network. What is the ESRI-recommended approach for: * Incremental batch loading *…
Pole-Conduit Connectivity
We are migrating data from GTech to Esri UN , In GTECH the Conduits are owned by Poles . How to replicate this in Esri . Is only the Junction -Edge connectivity is enough here , Or Do I need to create any structure attachment to the Pole . But we can't create a structure attachment from pole to Conduit as per feature…
Reconcile error
I recently published a Gas UN data and an LRS data as a service. The aim is that users are able to create their versions based on the published data set. Users are able to create versions successfully, but whenever we try to reconcile Users branched version edits, we hit a snag. Error message code - 500 is what we get…
Export Subnetwork Question
Hi - A few years ago our company started providing proposed equipment from GIS to our outage system (Oracle NMS). We applied a few conventions to data in our ArcFM Feeder Manager managed distribution system and it, by and large, works OK. Energization is now performed in NMS by the system operator — who is in direct…
Identifying orphaned features in Utility Network
As far as my understanding of the Utility Network goes, the topology rules dictate the legal combinations of devices and lines, e.g. being silly that a manhole can join to a sewer but not a watermain, which at validation time makes alot of sense. However there doesn't seem to be anything stopping an editor adding an…
Utility network vocabulary specifically for water and wastewater (sewer) utility assets
Hi, Does anyone know of a similar vocabulary/terminology document similar to this (Utility network vocabulary | ArcGIS Pro documentation) but with specific references to/examples of water and wastewater (sewer) utility assets. This would be very helpful for water and wastewater utilities to understand how our current data…

Question on asset package and utility network in enterprise geodatabse
Hello Everyone, I have been reviewing various resources regarding ArcGIS Utility Network deployment, which highlight that an Asset Package contains the schema, rules, and properties inherited by the Utility Network and must reside in a File Geodatabase. I would like to know if it is technically possible or supported to…

Add Selected to Relationship - should it warn/error?
I have an ArcGIS Relationship Class between ServiceLocation (a Feature Class) and Premise (an Object Class), with cardinality 1:M. In Pro, I select a Premise that is not (yet) related to any Service Location. In the map I select two Service Locations, with OIDs 114352 and 114359, respectively. (The actual values don't…

Update subnetwork GP tool reports not dirty, but data shows it *is* dirty
Step 1. Attempt to update subnetwork "0041012022". Result: Network is not dirty. Step 2: Examine Subnetwork table: Subnetwork 0041012022 status is "Dirty" Any ideas or suggestions for what is going on would be appreciated. Thx, Ed
Trying to correct what is apparently a corrupt geometry I get the error: Underlying DBMS Error [Success]

Export Subnetwork REST - Fails Intermittently with the error "message": "Dirty subnetwork cannot be exported."
Hi Team, I am trying to programmatically export all subnetworks. This used to work before but now it seems to be failing and I cannot quite put my finger on the problem. I have tried using FME. But the issue seems to be on the server side, to test this I am using the browser. It works, works, fails, then works again. GIF…
Create Electric Junction Object using Map Viewer.
Working with 11.5/3.5.6, we have published a Feature Service containing an Electric Utility Network and a couple of ancillary tables (Premise and Joint Use). We open the Feature Service in Map Viewer and then open the Joint Use and the Electric Junction Object as tables. When we toggle between the two tabs, both show a…
Utility Network Validation Based on Edits Rather Than Extent
In ArcGIS Utility Network, the Validate operation is currently executed either for the current map extent or for the entire dirty area extent. While this approach works well, I have been wondering whether a more targeted validation mechanism could improve performance, especially for large utility networks with extensive…
Create Simple Data Mapping Errors
Hi, Not sure if anyone out there can help with this but I've been having issues with the Create Simple Data Mapping tool. I have the latest version of the UDMS toolbox and ArcPro. None of my feature classes have been throwing errors as I've been cleaning them up, preparing them for UN migration. Nothing seems amiss with…
