edit:7/29 - fixed the link Have you tried looking at this technical article? It shows you how you can use python and arcpy to enumerate all objects in your database to look for domain assignments. ... View more

Can you provide information about your workflow and what your customer is doing? Which of the operation(s) listed in the help are they performing when you are experiencing this behavior? ... View more

Back to the original question, what is the purpose of these views? I'm seeing several workflows listed in your post. Do you want to present data to your end users for viewing / reporting purposes? This is something that we can talk through some best practices on. If you're looking to edits views of your branch versioned data, this is not supported and quite dangerous. The reason why we don't allow this is because there are constraints and internal dependencies maintained by the feature services that we enforce as you edit the data. This is even more important if you have controller datasets like a utility network, trace network, or parcel fabric as you will likely end up placing your controlled datasets in an inconsistent or corrupt state.       ...

Whether and how to model low voltage equipment in the GIS is a question that has been around for a long time. Utilities that have access to resources to accurately model and maintain connectivity beyond the transformer and to the meter often choose to because of the benefits it provides to integrations with a CIS, OMS, ADMS, AMI, etc. The answers to these questions are different for every utility. If you do choose to model this information, the next question is how you integrate it with other systems. Due to the volatile nature of meter / customer information you will need to be careful about what unique identifiers you use to integrate your systems because things like meter numbers, serial numbers, or customer numbers can change. If you have a strong CIS and AMI integration that you may already have a solution to this problem in the form of some kind of Service Point Identifier that remains consistent (or at least well maintained) as equipment is replaced in the field. I discuss some of these models and strategies for the Utility Network in some of my blog posts, I recommend you read them in the given order: Journey to the Utility Network: Integration Overview Journey to the Utility Network: Non-Network Integrations Journey to the Utility Network: Network Integrations  ...

@Brian_Colson that's the article! Sorry for not responding to this thread earlier, I must have missed the notification two weeks ago. ... View more

If you also include a subnetwork name value does the call work? ... View more

There should be a blog coming out in the next week or two that shows how to model in service, proposed, and proposed remove features concurrently in the network model and how to trace the different states of your model. You don't need to adopt everything outlined in the article, but it will provide a good description of why things are behaving the way they are and how to leverage this behavior. ... View more

Ah I see now. Modelling in-line proposed install/retired features is one of the trickier items to model because, as you noted, the system treats the new features as barriers (to ensure they are not included in the subnetwork). If you are going to be at the Esri UC I would love to sit down with you at a whiteboard with someone from our water industry solutions team to draw out several of the ways you can handle this. ...

Can you provide a screenshot or graphic that shows exactly how the approved construction is interfering with your traces?  There are several techniques for handling approved/proposed construction, and it will help to see how you are currently modelling your features. ... View more

For performance reasons attribute rules typically don't run during data load, only during the creation of a new manhole structure.  If you want to have a manhole device and structure at the same location this is something you can manage using your data conversion process (Esri Data Loading Tools, Data Interoperability Extension, or raw python). ...

Oh I see, the asset package tool should only be run on the asset package but if you run it on a utility network gdb you can get in this unusual state.  Thanks Mike! ... View more

According to the what's new in ArcGIS Pro 2.9 release notes you can not only use the xml workspace process, but you can also use a regular copy/paste to move the utility network dataset. ... View more
