The utility network uses a slightly larger tolerance than just the x/y resolution and x/y tolerance when establishing connectivity, so this is reflected in our analysis of vertices. ... View more

Depending on which tools you run the data will either be stored in memory or layers on your local machine. If you want to have a persistent representation of this data that you want to be accessible by other users you can build something into the end of your notebook to persist the results to a layer accessible by others (enterprise geodatabase, feature service, etc). When persisting the data you will need to determine whether its more effective to truncate/reload or try to incrementally update the layer with changes (the append tool can do this by upserting using the match fields parameter). ...

There is a slight difference. However, because you can get your data you should use the errors captured there to identify the features you need to clean up. You can use the Summarize Utility Network Errors tool in the Utility Data Management Support toolbox (included in the Utility Network Foundation) to create a report database that describes all the errors that you can overlay on your source data. ...

Glad it was as simple as clearing your cache. I'll see you next week! ... View more

I just verified I can access the link using my work and personal computer. This does link to a teams event, is it possible your IT department is blocking access to the site? ... View more

You can also use python to directly query databases. I would recommend using the technology that you are most comfortable with using and supporting. Using notebooks or a python script is going to have a smaller footprint in terms of licensing/installs, but using the Data Interoperability extension is going to allow you to have access to more data formats and ways of transforming the data. ...

I often refer to this article for these discussions: Understanding the Differences Between Utility Network Maps. The first graphic in the article should help understand this better: When you "publish a web layer" you are creating a feature service for the features in your enterprise geodatabase (this feature service SHOULD NOT include subtype group layers or any additional symbology). When you "publish a web map" you are taking a display where you have applied configuration (labels, symbology, etc) to those feature services and wish to share the resulting display with web/mobile users. There are situations where you can have multiple feature services, but you shouldn't have a separate service for each map (ne feature service should support many maps). ... View more

Step 1 is going to be use the Export Attachments tool to get the photos out of the FGDB. From there you can either make changes to the photos on your local file system. Step 2 is to Generate Attachment Match Table to line up the attachments with their corresponding SDE feature. If storage is an issue in your SDE I would consider keeping the files on a file system and use the match table to maintain a link to the files in your SDE. If you do decide to load the attachments into your SDE you would use the Add Attachments tool. ... View more

@helderhelder First question, why do you need to change the transformer to have a tap? If you are modeling your transformers as devices with related units (or non-spatial objects) you don't need to create a tap as long as you are willing to split the medium-voltage lines wherever you have a transformer. This can be done during data migration, or in bulk manually using the "By Feature" tab in the Split tool. ... View more

The above script is pretty good, although there are a few issues you'll need to adjust to suit your data. Consider this crudely drawn example:   Instead of using the entire trail line you will likely need to break each line into multiple segments, so you only consider the angles of the line segments that intersect each other. The orientation of these line segments may not always be consistent, you may need to periodically flip the orientation of a segment when doing your calculation. If you found all the locations where trails intersected, buffered those points out slightly, and calculated the angle of each line intersection that would solve most of these issues. You would just need to flip the angle of the line that represents the angle of travel.     ... View more
