How to change Junction into Subnetwork Controller?

[GISAnalyst_TOI]

I have been trying to implement a wastewater sink based utility network and after using the migration wizard to bring over our older geometric network I am now in the process of breaking apart our system into subsystems. 

I had no issues setting up my subnetwork controllers for the device category on my UN( disconnected portions of our system that discharge into an adjoining system), but I can not figure out the process of setting up my junctions as network controllers (since the meters are where we separate our system from the joint system we flow our wastewater into and the tier 1 we have set up covers the entirety of both systems). I have no clue what I am doing wrong and the update asset package tool is missing. 

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

If you want something to be a subnetwork controller, it has to be a device with a terminal configuration (partitioned domains require a directional terminal configuration, hierarchical allows directional or bi-directional).

Meters are typically modelled as devices and not junctions. Junctions in a sewer network are typically just fittings and misc pipe connections. Anything that is tracking or modifying flow (including the channels in manholes) are typically modelled as devices.

Ok, so I should add a new device category into my UN as "Flow Meter" and have that used as my subnetwork controller instead of trying to rework my junction category?

I'm not sure what you mean by junction category or device category. Can you show me the current feature class, asset group, and asset type you want to make a subnetwork controller? Your flow meters should already belong to a flow meter asset group on the WastewaterDevice class.

Sure my UN is split into Junction/Device/Assembly/Line/Subnet Line. I assume it was from the default settings from the migration. For some reason it limped flow meters into the Junction group instead of a device. Was this a setting from when the UN was first created that I may have missed?

[RobertKrisher · Accepted solution]

When you ran the UN Migration Wizard (or the Migrate to Utility Network GP tool), you had to pick the target feature class for all your layers. If you want to use flow meters as controllers, then you should rerun the migration and put the flow meters in the device layer. While you're doing that you could also consider making siphons devices, in case you ever wanted to add a terminal configuration to them.

Alright I will give that a try. Thanks so much for the help.
