@AnthonyRyanEQL is correct about the timeout issue. With regards to the dirty areas re-appearing when you reconcile, this is the expected behavior and as long as you are confident the contents of your version were valid before you reconciled you can post your version (then validate the dirty areas in default). It takes a little getting used to at first, but it's common for customers to have a process that automatically validate these dirty areas after they are posted. This is mentioned a few places in the online help, but I prefer the explanation in the Dirty Areas help section: When a version is reconciled with the default version, dirty areas that exist in the named version will remain and dirty areas are created from edits generated by the reconcile process. Likewise, when edits from a named version are posted to the default version, dirty areas are created for edits that were made in the named version. This includes edits that were previously validated in the named version.

@VaL If a picture is worth 1000 words, the sample data model I linked to above is worth 1 million words. Follow the link I posted above to download a complete sample project with data you can you to experience this for yourself. All you need is an ArcGIS Pro license. The feature class is Electric Line, each of these classes has subtypes (also called Asset Groups), then each subtype has a coded value domain that describes its Asset Types assigned to the assettype field.

I agree with @TobeyKane-Seitz that you should look at the data dictionary for the latest Electric Utility Network Foundation solution from Esri. Each of these solutions includes a data model, sample data, maps, and a data dictionary that describes what you're looking for along with instructions on how to deploy your own solution. As an example, here is a screenshot of the "Asset Types" associated with the Medium Voltage Overhead Conductor "Asset Group" (which as John mentions below, Asset Group = Subtype). There are additional fields for modelling the specific voltage of features, but every feature's classification (in the electric model) is related to its voltage level. This allows the model to create various rules that control how these types of features are allowed to be connected as well as what types of networks they are allowed to participate in.

I agree with John that the export/import asset package is likely going to be the fastest, most reliable way to transfer the data, especially if you have a lot of associations. My second choice would be copy/paste because of the ease-of-use but given the size of your database it may take some time to do the transfer. The import/export xml workspace document is a great way to transfer schema between databases, but if you are moving a sizable amount of data, it's not a very good option because of the size of the xml file involved.

For reference, there actually is an article written by @JohnAlsup that describes how to rename items in your asset package.

To be more specific you cannot modify a domain that is used for Asset Types without disabling the network topology first., you can learn more about what network management tasks require you to disable the topology in the network management tasks in the online help. Taking this a step further, even once you've added an asset type to a domain you will still need to add connectivity rules, network categories, etc to this asset type. All of these tasks require the topology to be disabled, so I recommend you figure all of this out ahead of time in a staging environment or file geodatabase so you only have to disable the topology and affect your production users once.

@MuhammadQasim Good luck!

Have you ever wanted to look for a specific error type in the utility network, but you weren't sure how to query the dirty areas table? This article has you covered! The easiest way to get a report of all your errors is to run the Summarize Utility Network Errors tool found in the Utility Data Management Support tools from the ArcGIS Solutions team. But what if you don't want to generate a whole report and just want to query the current dirty areas in your version? The trick is that each dirty error can represent one or more errors, so the product makes use of something called a bitmask to allow this one field to represent multiple values. If you don't understand what that means, don't worry, I'll show you how you can write a query to find the exact value you want. The trick is we need to tell the database to find features that have the error id is embedded in their error code field (help page), which we can do using the following query: SQL Server: (CAST(ERRORCODE AS BIGINT) & POWER(2,<Error ID>)) = POWER(2,<Error ID>) Postgres: (errorcode :: bigint) & POWER(2,<Error ID>) :: bigint = POWER(2,<Error ID>) Oracle: BITAND(CAST(ERRORCODE AS INTEGER), POWER(2,<Error ID>)) = POWER(2,<Error ID>) Mobile Geodatabase: (CAST(ERRORCODE AS BIGINT) & POWER(2,<Error ID>)) = POWER(2,<Error ID>) File Geodatabase: Not Supported (consider using a mobile geodatabase) Query to find multipart geometries in a mobile geodatabase (error id 21)? st_numgeometries(SHAPE) > 1. You can fix multipart geometries by exploding them. If they just have duplicate vertices you can sometimes use the planarize tool to remove the duplicate vertice. If you want to see some industry specific blogs or some hands-on tutorial for managing errors check out our recently revitalized Topology Error learn series: https://learn.arcgis.com/en/paths/managing-topology-with-the-arcgis-utility-network/ You can find the online help topic for Error IDs here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/utility-network/about-error-features.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_B9C576CB6CA8492F9B0E0FC822BDE315

You can find a webinar on this exact topic over here: Integrate Real-Time IoT Data into your Digital Twin - Esri Videos: GIS, Events, ArcGIS Products & Industries. You should find what you're looking for there since the webinar covers a pretty broad range of use cases and solutions.

Mike is correct in that if you run the tool with the correct set of inputs it should generate some initial mappings for you to save you some time, but you may need to add some mappings yourself. For an example of how to populate a data-loading workspace to migrate to the utility network check out this tutorial: Load data into the ArcGIS utility network | Learn ArcGIS

If you have hundreds of thousands of subnetworks, then the first time you run update subnetwork and you have to do it on all those subnetworks it's going to take a while. Once all your subnetworks have been updated you should only have to worry about updating the ones that have changed, as long as the tier that contains the subnetworks is configured to manage status (Manage IsDirty=True in the set subnetwork definition tool).

Instead of building your own model from scratch, I recommend you start by using one of the utility network foundations provided by ArcGIS Solutions. They include a baseline model, configuration, sample data, and instructions to get you started. There are a lot of decisions that go into building a model, and that team has spent years putting together models that represent the best practices for each industry. The technical difference between the two is that in a partitioned tier a feature can only belong to a single subnetwork (circuit, feeder, station) but in a hierarchical tier a feature can belong to multiple subnetworks (water system, pressure zone, isolation zones).

When you checked the "Versioning" box on the feature dataset, what you are doing is enabling the contents of that feature dataset (and any related objects) to be edited using the versioning tools and workflows. This means that all edits to these classes made while editing a version will remain isolated to that version until they are reconciled and posted with the default version. To actually create a version, click the "New" button on the versioning toolbar (or in the manage version dialogs you have open). To edit features using that version you add the layers to your map and use the versioning toolbar (or the list by data sources tab) to change the active version to the version you created. Once you are done editing you can use the versioning toolbar to "Show Version Differences" or reconcile and post your changes. Traditional versioning is very similar (in terms of workflow), but it is not supported for editing through web applications. Here is a collection of resources that talk about branch versioning: Getting to know Branch Versioning To Branch or Not to Branch Branch Versioning: Setting the Stage Editing and Administration with Branch Versioning - It's Showtime!

The documentation says to include the rule id and the description, but as I said I don't think the tool currently verifies the description. Test it out and let me know!
