Enable Network Topology (Utility Network)

This ArcGIS 2.9 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.

Summary

Enables a network topology for a utility network.

A network topology is needed for analytic operations such as tracing and network diagrams. A network topology can also be enabled to find error features.

Note:

Starting with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1, the disable network topology operation will process asynchronously using the UtilityNetworkTools geoprocessing service when working with a utility network in an enterprise geodatabase. The UtilityNetworkTools service is preconfigured in the System folder for feature services that include a utility network. It has a longer time-out setting and is reserved for utility network geoprocessing tasks.

Usage

  • Some network configuration tasks can only be performed before the network topology is enabled for the first time. See Utility network management tasks for tasks specific to this tool and the required network topology state.

  • All utility network feature classes must have a spatial index.

  • When working with an enterprise geodatabase, the following are requirements:

    • If the Input Utility Network is from a database connection, the connection must be established as the database utility network owner.

    • The connected ArcGIS Enterprise portal account must be the portal utility network owner.
    • This tool must be connected to the default version when executed.
    • The utility network must be registered as branch versioned.
    • The utility network must be in a nonversioned state to use the Only generate errors advanced option.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Input Utility Network

The utility network for which the network topology will be enabled.

Utility Network; Utility Network Layer
Maximum number of errors
(Optional)

The maximum number of errors before the process of enabling the network topology will stop. Errors will be recorded in the dirty areas sublayer. The default value is 10000.

Caution:

Increasing the maximum number of errors value will increase the length of time to enable the topology. Setting a value higher than the default value of 10000 is not recommended.

Long
Only generate errors
(Optional)

Specifies whether the topology will be enabled or only network errors will be generated.

  • Checked—The utility network will only be evaluated for network errors. The topology will not be enabled. If you are working with an enterprise geodatabase, the data cannot be registered as versioned. This allows you to inspect and fix errors in the network until you are ready to enable the topology.
  • Unchecked—The topology will be enabled and any existing errors will generate dirty areas with errors. This is the default.
