Code sample

ConfigureUtilityNetworkFeatureClass example 1 (Python window)

Demonstrates how to use the ConfigureUtilityNetworkFeatureClass geoprocessing tool in a Python window.

# Name: ConfigureUtilityNetworkFeatureClass_ex1.py
# Description: Configure a Utility Network pipeline feature class for use with a linear referencing system (LRS) in the Python window.
# Requires: ArcGIS Location Referencing

# Check out license
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("LocationReferencing")

# Set current workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/Data/UN_LRconnection.sde"

# Tool variables
utility_Network_Feature = r"C:/Data/UN_LRconnection.sde/LRS/UNOWNER.UNData/UNOWNER.pipeline"
RouteID = "RouteID"
FromMeasure = "FromMeasure"
ToMeasure = "ToMeasure"

# Execute the tool
arcpy.locref.ConfigureUtilityNetworkFeatureClass(utility_Network_Feature, RouteID, FromMeasure, ToMeasure)

# Check in license
arcpy.CheckInExtension('LocationReferencing')
ConfigureUtilityNetworkFeatureClass example 2 (stand-alone script)

Demonstrates how to use the ConfigureUtilityNetworkFeatureClass tool as a stand-alone Python script.

# Name: ConfigureUtilityNetworkFeatureClass_ex2.py
# Description: Configure a Utility Network pipeline feature class for use with a linear referencing system (LRS) in a stand-alone script.
# Requires: ArcGIS Location Referencing

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

# Check out the license
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("LocationReferencing")

# Set current workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/Data/UN_LRconnection.sde"

#Tool variables
utility_Network_Feature = r"C:/Data/UN_LRconnection.sde/LRS/UNOWNER.UNData/UNOWNER.pipeline"
RouteID = "RouteID"
FromMeasure = "FromMeasure"
ToMeasure = "ToMeasure"

# Execute the tool
arcpy.locref.ConfigureUtilityNetworkFeatureClass(utility_Network_Feature, RouteID, FromMeasure, ToMeasure)

# Check in license
arcpy.CheckInExtension('LocationReferencing')
