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!

‎06-14-2023

If memory serves me, the delete tool doesn't verify the description of the rule being deleted, only the rule ID. With that being said, it's good to have the full description so you can verify the rules being deleted before you run the script. In order to do that you will need to use the arcpy Describe method to read the utility network properties and look up the network source name, asset group name, and asset type names for each of the from/via/to elements. This can be achieved by looking at the asset groups and asset types of all the edge sources and junction soures for all of your domain networks.

It's not quite so clear cut, I recommend you spend time looking at the area I mentioned in the Electric Utility Network Foundation for examples. The two approaches you outlined above are both equally valid using the assembly/device approach. Example B looks like it would work for non-spatial objects, but based on the style of the diagram I don't think that is what is being depicted (it looks like documentation from the assembly/device model).

‎06-11-2023

There are multiple ways, all equally valid, to model your equipment. The short version is that you can use assemblies and devices if you want to represent all your features spatially OR you can use device points and junction objects if you want to just represent the location of the bank spatially and represent your units non-spatially. Now for the details/history: When the utility network was originally released there was no concept of non-spatial objects, so your choices were to a) Model the bank of equipment an assembly and all the internals of the assembly as devices and junctions. b) Model the bank of equipment as a device and use the device unit table to represent individual assets within the assembly. Most customers chose the first approach because it allowed all of these objects to be included in the JSON files created by the Export Subnetwork tool. When the utility network introduced non-spatial objects the "Device Unit" and "Wire Unit" tables in the model were replaced with the new non-spatial object tables: Electric Junction Object and Electric Edge Object. You can find examples of this in the newer Electric Utility Network Foundations by looking at the subnetworks that have names starting with "Essential". You can also just open the Electric Edge/Junction Object tables and navigate to specific examples (single phase transformers, fuses, etc).
