In the TOC, right-click on your Network Analysis layer (OD or CF) and bring up its properties. Click on the Network Locations tab and there is setting towards the bottom to Exclude restricted portions of the network. See screen shot below. You can turn on the setting and it will be honored next time you load locations. For existing locations, you can right-click on the Facilites or Origins/Destinations in the NA Window and choose to recalculate the existing locations (second screen shot below). Jay Sandhu     ...

I am trying to understand what you are trying to achieve. What is a section group? Perhaps that is not important. All I can understand is that you have a large number of locations/stops and you want to find a way to route through them 800 at a time. I presume that you want to optimize the visit order for those 800 stops. Normally I will suggest that you look at the Vehicle Routing Problem solver as a way to solve this type of problem. However, there are limits to how big a problem you can solve online. If you have your own local network dataset then you can use VRP in ArcGIS Pro to solve it.

When demand locations are loaded, you can also have them specify a cutoff value. This will override the layer's cutoff value. Take a look at the Cutoff_[Cost] parameter in doc here: Location-allocation analysis layer—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation This is not a facility based option, rather a demand based option. For example, rural location can have a larger cutoff .vs. downtown locations. Jay Sandhu ... View more

Can you try the spatial landmarks as feature classes in a geodatabase as opposed to being a shapefile?  Jay Sandhu   ... View more

Best way to learn about NA and Network datasets are to go through the relevant tutorials and they have data. You can get more information on them here: Network Analyst tutorials—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation You can also search for open street map data to download and convert that to network datasets.

If you have a local network dataset, add it to your map. Normally this will make it network source for any new network analysis layers you create. On the Analysis tab, Network Analyst drop down (like in the snip_networkanalyst image), you can also change the data source to the local one. Note, you have to create new analysis layers based on the local network source. Existing analysis layers will point to the online source. Jay Sandhu ... View more

If the disconnected edges are due to undershoot or overshoot then you can look at using the Integrate tool. Make sure you run it on a COPY of your data as it will alter your data to make things connect. You have to evaluate the results to see if that is what you need.

Were you able to resolve this issue? I have not heard anything from Esri support. Jay Sandhu ... View more

In ArcGIS Pro, we honor the restricted edges and do not locate on them. Can you clarify what you need to do? For example, you can turn off the restrictions on a network analysis layer before loading locations and locations will be located on the closest edge. Jay Sandhu     ... View more

Can you share your data? I would like to find out why it is so slow. Another way to speed load locations is to first precompute the location fields by using the Calculate Locations tool to add the location information on the point features, Then at analysis time, use Load Locations with the network fields instead of geometry.

Is the ArcMap with the faster performance on the same platform? If yes, then Pro should not be any slower. Can you make your data available for testing? Create an issue with Esri Technical Support and we can follow up. Jay Sandhu ... View more

The Virtual desktop/network drive is probably the limiting factor in the performance. If you draw the network, how long does it take? if it is slow that means the data access is slow as well when performing the locate. Jay Sandhu ... View more

One of the main reasons loading locations can be slow is that the road feature class does not have a spatial index or the index needs to be rebuilt. In the Catalog pane, find the roads feature class that is part of your network dataset, and right-click to bring up its properties. On the indexes tab, expand the Spatial index and either Create or Recalculate the index. More info here: Modify a spatial index—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation Other reasons could be that the road data is on an external slow drive and it is taking a while to find the closest roads.
