Utility Network Analyst: Custom valve isolation

please, see the attache image that shows my question

i wanted to know whether the ArcGIS 10 includes the very urgent command "Custom valve isolation" as built in tool.

This command SELECT the nearest valve that to be closed in case any ruptures occurs at any point in the pipe net work, and thus this valve must be closed to prevent the follow of water at that point!

do we still to add this command in the VBA?

thank you in advance,

regards

Hi Michael,

I tried to follow your advice in turning off the layer but found that it is not practical! In this case, I need to turn off: Meters, Fittings, Hydrants and re-turn them on again and again!

Can the code itself be developed to deselect all the layers except the Valves and the pipes (main and lateral)?

In other words, I need the �??Valve Isolation Trace�?� command to select only the valves and the pipes (main and lateral).

Is that possible through the code itself?

Thank you

Regards

Jamal

We include the source code with the tool, I would suggest implementing this change in your toolset.

Many thanks Michael.

Unfortunately, i don't have enough experience to implement such change.

I'm really stuck at this point.

how can i go forward?

Hi Mike,

I'm wondering what the difference is between the Valve Isolation process from the Infrastructure Editing template and a running an Upstream Trace from the Utility Network Analyst toolbar. This is, of course setting the Valve layer as disabled and the results with the "Features stopping the trace". Tracing with the Utility netowrk analyst seems to be faster.
Could you please explain the differences or if the Upstream trace won't give me the correct results?
Are there pros/cons?
Why does the Infrastructure tool require to set Sources again?
If I were to make this process available from ArcGIS Server, it seems like I can install a SOE to access the Utility Network Analyst tracing functionality... On the other hand, there seems to be an example of Web Services that can make this tracing available, but I'm not usre if it uses ArcObjects & DCOM and therefore it may not work anymore in 10.1.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Orlando

The upstream and downstream are the same.  The tools on the infrastructure toolbar just make it a single button click.  It finds the geometric network you clicked on, then places the flag and runs the trace.  It may be a tad slower because it is trying to find the closest geometric network to the location you clicked and then create the flag at this location.  You could use the code and develop an SOE to call the functions and this is the recommended way.  The sample we have on the forum is an older version that uses a SOAP web service.

Hi Michael,

I would like to know if you have any gp tool for valve isolation where i can publish on Silverlight viewer?

Thanks,
Satish

We recently released a JS app to preform a network trace, it includes a GP model to preform the analysis.

Hello Michael, i'm trying to configure the Loaded.config so the tools will work with my own data but i'm not certain what i should modify, i don´t know if i have to type de FC name or the alias or how to set the edit template or if i should just delete that part... i'm new at this and could really use any documentation or some screen shots to guide me.

i'm specifically trying to get the add laterals at connections tool to work so i got as far as getting the Loaded.config open and searched for the AddLateralsLayers section, but i don't understand everything that's happening there and what i should or shouldn't modify.

i guess i don't need to say i'm new at this, so thanks for your patience and collaboration.
