Set Edge Connectivity (Utility Network)

Summary

Defines how features will connect to a line or edge object of a given asset type.

Connectivity may be established with lines and edge objects at two locations: an endpoint and a midspan vertex. Each asset type in the domain network is set with a default edge connectivity setting.

Usage

• The network topology must be disabled.

• The following requirements must be met when working with an enterprise geodatabase:

  • The Input Utility Network parameter value must be from a database connection 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.

Code sample

SetEdgeConnectivity example 1 (Python window)

Alter the edge connectivity policy for the underground asset type in the Electric Distribution domain network to any vertex.

import arcpy
arcpy.SetEdgeConnectivity_un("Utility Network", "ElectricDistribution", 
                             "ElectricDistributionLine", "Low Voltage", 
                             "Underground", "AnyVertex")

SetEdgeConnectivity example 2 (Python window)

Alter the edge connectivity policy for the connector asset type in the Electric Distribution domain network to the end vertex.

import arcpy
arcpy.SetEdgeConnectivity_un("Utility Network", "ElectricDistribution", 
                             "ElectricDistributionLine", "Connector", 
                             "Connector", "EndVertex")
