How are you running the code? Is is with a script tool, a model, or the python window? ... View more

Hi Hazel, Are you by any chance familiar with python? You could use excel to create the permutations or even have them written down in notepad, but taking these approaches is going to result in you having to manually input this information into your model. I would highly suggest using python to accomplish this task. Within python creating the permutations is a one line call. For example, I'm not sure how well you understand python, but I have included code below that I was able to utilize to create the results you're seeking. You can review this if you want to utilize this workflow to accomplish your task. I pulled the example from the page listed below and modified it. Make Route Layer http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/tools/network-analyst-toolbox/make-route-layer.htm # Name: MakeRouteLayer_Workflow.py # Description: Find a best route to visit the stop locations and save the #              route to a layer file.

This iteration logic would not be natively possible to implement within ModelBuilder. ... View more

Have you tried modifying the Enabled property of the button using your logic to check if the editor is active within the OnUpdate method of the button.

Could you describe the variable you're needing to set? If these buttons/tools are within the same project you could create a global variable within their source code and initialize it within the constructor of the buttons/tools. ... View more

Out of the box modelbuilder wouldn't allow you to do this without manually setting up all of your permutations for your routes. I would think that what you'd want to do is develop a script tool that can return a list of all of your different route permutations and then use a submodel with an iterator to solve for each of these permutations. ...

Are you only needing to modify the data and display the data in runtime? If yes you could leverage a runtime geodatabase (i.e. the file that ends with the .geodatabase extension). If you wanted to use a shapefile you could load the data into runtime and manipulate it, but you would not be able to persist the data changes back to the source shapefile.

Yea...I would think that the solution would work the same for a single or multiple vehicles. The catch will be if Hazel knows exactly where these riders are going. If so, then ordered pairs can be created for the passengers to limit the time they're on the bus. I would think that a Order Pair based VRP solution would be what is needed because Hazel needs to manage MaxTransitTime for each person or group of people on the vehicle. ... View more

I believe that the tutorial I've listed below solves an issue similar to this. Exercise 8: Finding best routes to service paired orders http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/guide-books/extensions/network-analyst/exercise-8-finding-best-routes-to-service-a-set-of-paired-orders.htm The primary goal of the able exercise is to find the best routes for a fleet of vans to transport people to different hospitals for medical appointments. This exercise also implements a max transit time so that riders don't spend too much time in transit. ... View more

For personal geodatabases the answer would be no because the Runtime APIs do not support personal geodatabases. I've pointed to the documentation that states this below. Although runtime won't allow you to edit personal geodatabases directly, I may be able to point you to another workflow that would allow you to adopt this API. Could you provide more information on the workflow you're needing to accomplish with the runtime sdk? Also, do you have access to ArcGIS Server?

WorkspaceFactoryType would not contain an enum for Personal Geodatabases. You'd need to convert your data to either a shapefile or a file/enterprise geodatabase. ... View more

IWorkspaceFactory belongs to the ArcObjects SDK (i.e. Esri.ArcGIS.Geodatabase.IWorkspaceFactory). IWorkspaceFactory http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcobjects-net/componenthelp/index.html#//002500000m9w000000 Are you wanting to use ArcObjects or the ArcGIS for Runtime SDK. The runtime SDK would not utilize this interface. What type of workspace are you needing to open? If you're using the Runtime SDK I'd assume you're referring to Esri.ArcGISRuntime.LocalServices.WorkspaceFactoryType enumeration. WorkspaceFactoryType Enumeration https://developers.arcgis.com/net/desktop/api-reference//html/T_Esri_ArcGISRuntime_LocalServices_WorkspaceFactoryType.htm The above interface is what you'd use in runtime to specify the workspace type when creating a dynamic workspace. ...
