So... for some reason I really don't understand when I applied my asset package the subnetwork fields (systemsubnetname, pressuresubnetname and isolationsubnetname) did not get added to all of my Pipeline classes.    What I did to resolve the issue was to back out all the way - removing feature services and deleting the feature dataset, then staging a new utility network and applying the same asset package.  Then loaded data, configured subnetwork controllers and resolved *all* validation errors.  At that point I got "Update Subnetwork" to work. A couple points: 1.  The first (failed) time through I know I reordered fields in the Pipeline classes to make things more readable -- for example, moving LIFECYCLESTATUS to the top.   It *may* have been the case that I changed the visibility of a critical field as well -- I don't think I did, but can't say it wasn't possible.  The second time (that worked) I made no changes to Pipeline class fields at all. 2.  Rather than having to resolve *all* validation errors it may have been the case that I could have set some trace barriers to isolate the "good" part of the network from the "bad" and thus followed a piecemeal approach to validation. 3.  It would still be good when receiving an error message that says "Expected field could not be found" that the software would also tell you *which* field it was looking for. Got some pointers from Esri tech support along the way - for which I say "thank you"! Ed ... View more

Mark - Am curious how the CP subnetwork definition has gone.  In a small test I added anodes and test points connected to steel pipe by bond wire.   When I then tries to update my distribution subnetwork I got errors about finding invalid devices -- the anodes and test points.   Did you somehow exclude bond wire from the distribution subnetwork? Thanks, Ed Blair ... View more

I'll try.. but I didn't change field visibility, just the field order. ... View more

For what it's worth, I re-ordered fields in the PipelineLine and PipelineDevice classes before publishing the feature service.   For example, moved the LIFECYCLESTATUS field closer to the top so its easier to see.  Would this make a difference? Thx, Ed ... View more

Paul - Thanks for the reply.  Yes,actually it seems I can run a subnetwork trace. Ed ... View more

Totally a data error and my bad.  While the junction at the end of the pipe had a life cycle status of In Service, several connection points along the pipe, where services connect, had a life cycle status of Unknown.  Once this was resolved the trace completed as expected. Ed ... View more

Forgot to update this.   I must have been using an old, outdated version of the UPDM model.  When I re-started from scratch using the Gas Utility Network Service 2.0 and re-loaded my data I was able to set my subnetwork controller. Ed ... View more

Paul - Thanks for the clarification. Do we get pretty much the equivalent functionality by examining attributes of the Utility Network error layers? Ed ... View more

Hello - Am trying to modify a subnetwork controller with no luck.  The error message says there is an "expected field [that] was not found or could not be retrieved properly".  Is there a way for me to identify the field in question? Thx, Ed ... View more

Hi Hussein - I originally started with an empty map and added to it layers, one-by-one from my client-server Geodatabase and then assigned symbology to asset groups/asset types that are actually present in my sample database. I added the utility network at the end and opted to not include layers as that would have duplicated layers I thought were already present. The attached PPT has layer-by-layer contents from the original map (that did not work) and the map started by adding in the utility network and associated layers (that did work). Contents look pretty much the same to me - but I hope this is helpful. Thanks, Ed ... View more
