Update Measures From LRS (Location Referencing)

This ArcGIS 2.8 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.

Available with Location Referencing license.

Summary

Populates or updates the measures and route ID on Utility Network (UN) features such as pipes, devices, and junctions or on features in other non-UN or non-LRS feature classes.

This tool finds appropriate routes from the LRS Network parameter, gets the measures from that route, and populates or updates the measure and route attributes for the features in the non-LRS feature class.

Note:

The ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing Server extension is required to use this tool.

Usage

  • The input layer and LRS Network parameter layer must be from an LRS-enabled feature service.

  • The field properties of the Input Features and LRS Network parameters must match.

  • The spatial reference, x,y resolution, and x,y tolerance of the Input Features and LRS Network parameters must match.

  • A text log is written locally that states that the tool was executed and contains the following:

    • Information on any input features that failed validation
    • The route ID and measure values for the updated input features from before and after the update

  • The Input Features must be exactly coincident to the LRS Network features.

    The following diagrams and tables demonstrate how line and point features from the non-LRS Input Features that are coincident to Route1 in the LRS Network will be updated:

    The line feature's geometry has a geometric match with the LRS network.

    The point feature is coincident with the route on the LRS Network.

    Line

    The line feature's geometry is not coincident with the input network. No information is returned.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
LRS Network

The feature service layer that contains the routes, route IDs, and measures.

Feature Layer
LRS Date

The date used to define the temporal view of the network for collecting the route and measure values.

Date
Input Features

The layer that includes route ID and measure fields that will be updated based on feature geometry relative to routes in the LRS Network parameter.

Feature Layer
Route ID Field

The field in the Input Features layer that contains the route ID value.

Field
Measure Field

The field in the Input Features layer that contains the from measure value for polyline features.

Field
To Measure Field
(Optional)

The field in the Input Features layer that contains the measure value for point features or the to measure value for polyline features.

Field

Derived Output

LabelExplanationData Type
Output Details File

The output log file that lists the updated features in the Input Layer. This log file will include the before and after values for the route ID, from measure, and to measure fields for each updated feature.

Text File
Out Features

The updated feature service layer.

Note:

Validation results for this tool are written to the ArcGIS Server directory. This file is automatically cleaned up in 10 minutes by default, which may not be enough time to process all of the validations and write them to your workstation that is running ArcGIS Pro. For larger data loads, it is recommended that you adjust the maximum file age to at least one hour.

Environments

This tool does not use any geoprocessing environments.
