Summary

Creates a named trace configuration in the utility network.

Named trace configurations allow you to configure and store the properties of complex traces for reuse and sharing. Named trace configurations created in a utility network can be used in ArcGIS Pro with the Trace tool or by using the Named Configurations tab in the Trace pane. When working in an enterprise deployment, these can also be shared through a web map and used by web and field apps.

String
Tags
(Optional)

A set of tags used to identify the named trace configuration. The tags can be used in search and indexing.

String
Domain Network
(Optional)

The name of the domain network where the trace will be run. This parameter is required when running the subnetwork, subnetwork controllers, upstream, and downstream trace types.

String
Tier
(Optional)

The name of the tier to start the trace. This parameter is required when running the subnetwork, subnetwork controllers, upstream, and downstream trace types.

String
Target Tier
(Optional)

The name of the target tier to which the input tier flows. If this parameter is not specified for upstream and downstream traces, those traces will stop when they reach the boundary of the starting subnetwork. This parameter can be used to allow these traces to continue either farther up or farther down the hierarchy.

The name of the network attribute used to calculate the shortest path. When running a shortest path trace type, the shortest path is calculated using a numeric network attribute such as shape length. Cost- and distance-based paths can both be achieved. This parameter is required when running a shortest path trace.

String
Include Containers
(Optional)

Specifies whether the container features will be included in the trace results.

  • Unchecked—Traversability barrier features will not be included in the trace results.

Boolean
Validate Consistency
(Optional)

Specifies whether an error will be returned if dirty areas are encountered in any of the traversed features. This is the only way to guarantee a trace is passing through features with consistent status in the network. To remove dirty areas, validate the network topology.

  • Checked—The trace will return an error if dirty areas are encountered in any of the traversed features. This is the default.
  • Unchecked—The trace will return results regardless of whether dirty areas are encountered in any of the traversed features.

Boolean
Condition Barriers
(Optional)

Sets a traversability barrier condition on features based on a comparison to a network attribute or check for a category string. A condition barrier uses a network attribute, an operator and a type, and an attribute value. For example, stop a trace when a feature has the Device Status attribute equal to the specific value of Open. When a feature meets this condition, the trace stops. If you're using more than one attribute, you can use the Combine using parameter to define an And or an Or condition.

Condition barrier components are as follows:

  • Name—Filter by any network attribute or network category defined in the system.
  • Operator—Choose from a number of operators.
  • Type—Choose a specific value or network attribute from the value that is specified in the Name parameter.
  • Value—Provide a specific value for the input attribute type that would cause termination based on the operator value.
  • Combine using—Set this value if you have multiple attributes to add. You can combine them using an And or an Or condition.

The condition barriers Operator value options are as follows:

  • Is equal to—The attribute is equal to the value.
  • Does not equal—The attribute is not equal to the value.
  • Is greater than—The attribute is greater than the value.
  • Is greater than or equal to—The attribute is greater than or equal to the value.
  • Is less than—The attribute is less than the value.
  • Is less than or equal to—The attribute is less than or equal to the value.
  • Includes the values—A bitwise AND operation in which all bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == value).
  • Does not include the values—A bitwise AND operation in which not all of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND != value).
  • Includes any—A bitwise AND operation in which at least one bit in the value is present in the attribute (bitwise AND == True).
  • Does not include any—A bitwise AND operation in which none of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == False).

The condition barriers Type value options are as follows:

  • Specific Value—Filter by a specific value.
  • Network Attribute—Filter by a network attribute.

Value Table
Function Barriers
(Optional)

Sets a traversability barrier on features based on a function. Function barriers can be used to do such things as restrict how far the trace travels from the starting point, or set a maximum value to stop a trace. For example, the length of each line traveled is added to the total distance traveled so far. When the total length traveled reaches the value specified, the trace stops.

Function barrier components are as follows:

  • Function—Choose from a number of calculation functions.
  • Attribute—Filter by any network attribute defined in the system.
  • Operator—Choose from a number of operators.
  • Value—Provide a specific value for the input attribute type that, if discovered, will cause the termination.
  • Use Local Values—Calculate values in each direction as opposed to an overall global value, for example, a function barrier that is calculating the sum of Shape length in which the trace terminates if the value is greater than or equal to 4. In the global case, after you have traversed two edges with a value of 2, you have already reached a Shape length sum of 4, so the trace stops. If local values are used, the local values along each path change, and the trace continues.
    • Checked—Local values will be used.
    • Unchecked—Global values will be used. This is the default.

The function barrier Function value options are as follows:

  • Minimum—The minimum of the input values.
  • Maximum—The maximum of the input values.
  • Add—The sum of the input values.
  • Average—The average of the input values.
  • Count—The number of features.
  • Subtract—The difference between the input values.

    Subnetwork controllers and loops trace types do not support the subtract function.

For example, the starting point feature has a value of 20. The next feature has a value of 30. If you use the minimum function, the result is 20, maximum is 30, add is 50, average is 25, count is 2, and subtract is -10.

The function barrier Operator value options are as follows:

  • Is equal to—The attribute is equal to the value.
  • Does not equal—The attribute is not equal to the value.
  • Is greater than—The attribute is greater than the value.
  • Is greater than or equal to—The attribute is greater than or equal to the value.
  • Is less than—The attribute is less than the value.
  • Is less than or equal to—The attribute is less than or equal to the value.
  • Includes the values—A bitwise AND operation in which all bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == value).
  • Does not include the values—A bitwise AND operation in which not all of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND != value).
  • Includes any—A bitwise AND operation in which at least one bit in the value is present in the attribute (bitwise AND == True).
  • Does not include any—A bitwise AND operation in which none of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == False).

Value Table
Apply Traversability To
(Optional)

Specifies whether traversability will be applied to junctions, edges, or both. For example, if a condition barrier is defined to stop the trace if Device Status is equal to Open and traversability scope is set to edges only, the trace will not stop—even if it encounters an open device—because Device Status is only applicable to junctions. In other words, this parameter indicates to the trace whether to ignore junctions, edges, or both.

  • Both junctions and edges—Traversability will be applied to both junctions and edges. This is the default.
  • Junctions only—Traversability will be applied to junctions only.
  • Edges only—Traversability will be applied to edges only.
String
Filter Barriers
(Optional)

Specifies when the trace will stop for a specific category or network attribute. For example, stop a trace at features that have a life cycle status attribute that is equal to a certain value. This parameter is used to set a terminator based on a value of a network attribute that is defined in the system. If you're using more than one attribute, you can use the Combine Using option to define an And or an Or condition.

Filter barrier components are as follows:

  • Name—Filter by category or any network attribute defined in the system.
  • Operator—Choose from a number of operators.
  • Type—Choose a specific value or network attribute from the value that is specified in the Name parameter.
  • Value—Provide a specific value for the input attribute type that would cause termination based on the operator value.

  • Does not include the values—A bitwise AND operation in which not all of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND != value).
  • Includes any—A bitwise AND operation in which at least one bit in the value is present in the attribute (bitwise AND == True).
  • Does not include any—A bitwise AND operation in which none of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == False).

The filter barriers Type value options are as follows:

  • Specific Value—Filter by a specific value.
  • Network Attribute—Filter by a network attribute.

Filter function barriers components are as follows:

  • Function—Choose from a number of calculation functions.
  • Attribute—Filter by any network attribute defined in the system.
  • Operator—Choose from a number of operators.
  • Value—Provide a specific value for the input attribute type that, if discovered, will cause the termination.
  • Use Local Values—Calculate values in each direction as opposed to an overall global value. For example, a function barrier that is calculating the sum of shape length in which the trace terminates if the value is greater than or equal to 4. In the global case, after you have traversed two edges with a value of 2, you will have already reached a shape length sum of 4, so the trace stops. If local values are used, the local values along each path change, or the trace continues.
    • Checked—Local values will be used.
    • Unchecked—Global values will be used. This is the default.

The filter function barriers Function value options are as follows:

  • Minimum—The minimum of the input values will be identified.
  • Maximum—The maximum of the input values will be identified.
  • Add—The sum of the values will be calculated.
  • Average—The average of the input values will be calculated.
  • Count—The number of features will be identified.
  • Subtract—The difference between the values will be calculated. Subnetwork controllers and loops trace types do not support the subtract function.

For example, a starting point feature has a value of 20. The next feature has a value of 30. If you are using the Minimum function, the result is 20. Maximum is 30, Add is 50, Average is 25, Count is 2, and Subtract is -10.

Value Table
Apply Filter To
(Optional)

Specifies whether the filter for a specific category will be applied to junctions, edges, or both. For example, if a filter barrier is defined to stop the trace if Device Status is equal to Open and traversability scope is set to edges only, the trace will not stop—even if the trace encounters an open device—because Device Status is only applicable to junctions. In other words, this parameter indicates to the trace whether to ignore junctions, edges, or both.

  • Both junctions and edges—The filter will be applied to both junctions and edges. This is the default.
  • Junctions only—The filter will be applied to junctions only.
  • Edges only—The filter will be applied to edges only.

String
Filter by bitset network attribute
(Optional)

The name of the network attribute that will be used to filter by bitset. This parameter is only applicable to upstream, downstream, and loops trace types. This parameter can be used to add special logic during a trace so the trace more closely reflects real-world scenarios. For example, for a loops trace, the Phases current network attribute can determine if the loop is a true electrical loop (the same phase is energized all around the loop, that is, A) and return only real electrical loops for the trace results. An example for an upstream trace is when tracing an electric distribution network, specify a Phases current network attribute, and the trace results will only include valid paths that are specified in the network attribute, not all paths.

String

  • VALIDATE_CONSISTENCY—The trace will return an error if dirty areas are encountered in any of the traversed features. This is the default.
  • DO_NOT_VALIDATE_CONSISTENCY—The trace will return results regardless of whether dirty areas are encountered in any of the traversed features.
Boolean
condition_barriers
[[Name, Operator, Type, Value, Combine Using],...]
(Optional)

Sets a traversability barrier condition on features based on a comparison to a network attribute or check for a category string. A condition barrier uses a network attribute, an operator and a type, and an attribute value. For example, stop a trace when a feature has the Device Status attribute equal to the specific value of Open. When a feature meets this condition, the trace stops. If you're using more than one attribute, you can use the Combine using parameter to define an And or an Or condition.

Condition barrier components are as follows:

  • Name—Filter by any network attribute defined in the system.
  • Operator—Choose from a number of operators.
  • Type—Choose a specific value or network attribute from the value that is specified in the name parameter.
  • Value—Provide a specific value for the input attribute type that would cause termination based on the operator value.
  • Combine Using—Set this value if you have multiple attributes to add. You can combine them using an And or an Or condition.

The condition barriers operator value options are as follows:

  • IS_EQUAL_TO—The attribute is equal to the value.
  • DOES_NOT_EQUAL—The attribute is not equal to the value.
  • IS_GREATER_THAN—The attribute is greater than the value.
  • IS_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO—The attribute is greater than or equal to the value.
  • IS_LESS_THAN—The attribute is less than the value.
  • IS_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO—The attribute is less than or equal to the value.
  • INCLUDES_THE_VALUES—A bitwise AND operation in which all bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == value).
  • DOES_NOT_INCLUDE_THE_VALUES—A bitwise AND operation in which not all of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND != value).
  • INCLUDES_ANY—A bitwise AND operation in which at least one bit in the value is present in the attribute (bitwise AND == True).
  • DOES_NOT_INCLUDE_ANY—A bitwise AND operation in which none of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == False).

Value Table
function_barriers
[[Function, Attribute, Operator, Value, Use Local Values],...]
(Optional)

Sets a traversability barrier on features based on a function. Function barriers can be used to do such things as restrict how far the trace travels from the starting point, or set a maximum value to stop a trace. For example, the length of each line traveled is added to the total distance traveled so far. When the total length traveled reaches the value specified, the trace stops.

Function barrier components are as follows:

  • Function—Choose from a number of calculation functions.
  • Attribute—Filter by any network attribute defined in the system.
  • Operator—Choose from a number of operators.
  • Value—Provide a specific value for the input attribute type that, if discovered, will cause the termination.
  • Use Local Values—Calculate values in each direction as opposed to an overall global value. For example, a function barrier that is calculating the sum of shape length in which the trace terminates if the value is greater than or equal to 4. In the global case, after you have traversed two edges with a value of 2, you will have already reached a shape length sum of 4, so the trace stops. If local values are used, the local values along each path change, and the trace continues.

The function barrier function value options are as follows:

  • AVERAGE—The average of the input values will be calculated.
  • COUNT—The number of features will be identified.
  • MAX—The maximum of the input values will be identified.
  • MIN—The minimum of the input values will be identified.
  • ADD—The sum of the values will be calculated.
  • SUBTRACT—The difference between the values will be calculated. Subnetwork controllers and loops trace types do not support the subtract function.

The function barrier operator value options are as follows:

  • IS_EQUAL_TO—The function result is equal to the value.
  • DOES_NOT_EQUAL—The function result is not equal to the value.
  • IS_GREATER_THAN—The function result is greater than the value.
  • IS_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO—The function result is greater than or equal to the value.
  • IS_LESS_THAN—The function result is less than the value.
  • IS_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO—The function result is less than or equal to the value.
  • INCLUDES_THE_VALUES—A bitwise AND operation in which all bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == value).
  • DOES_NOT_INCLUDE_THE_VALUES—A bitwise AND operation in which not all of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND != value).
  • INCLUDES_ANY—A bitwise AND operation in which at least one bit in the value is present in the attribute (bitwise AND == True).
  • DOES_NOT_INCLUDE_ANY—A bitwise AND operation in which none of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == False).

  • TRUE—Local values will be used.
  • FALSE—Global values will be used. This is the default.
Value Table
traversability_scope
(Optional)

Specifies whether traversability will be applied to junctions, edges, or both. For example, if a condition barrier is defined to stop the trace if Device Status is equal to Open and traversability scope is set to edges only, the trace will not stop—even if it encounters an open device—because Device Status is only applicable to junctions. In other words, this parameter indicates to the trace whether to ignore junctions, edges, or both.

  • TRUE—Local values will be used.
  • FALSE—Global values will be used. This is the default.
Value Table
filter_scope
(Optional)

Specifies whether the filter for a specific category will be applied to junctions, edges, or both. For example, if a filter barrier is defined to stop the trace if Device Status is equal to Open and traversability scope is set to edges only, the trace will not stop—even if the trace encounters an open device—because Device Status is only applicable to junctions. In other words, this parameter indicates to the trace whether to ignore junctions, edges, or both.

  • JUNCTIONS_ONLY—The filter will be applied to junctions only.
  • EDGES_ONLY—The filter will be applied to edges only.
String
filter_bitset_network_attribute_name
(Optional)

The name of the network attribute that will be used to filter by bitset. This parameter is only applicable to upstream, downstream, and loops trace types. This parameter can be used to add special logic during a trace so the trace more closely reflects real-world scenarios. For example, for a loops trace, the Phases current network attribute can determine if the loop is a true electrical loop (the same phase is energized all around the loop, that is, A) and return only real electrical loops for the trace results. An example for an upstream trace is when tracing an electric distribution network, specify a Phases current network attribute, and the trace results will only include valid paths that are specified in the network attribute, not all paths.

String
filter_nearest

The number of features to be returned when filter_nearest is FILTER_BY_NEAREST.

Long

Value Table
propagators
[[Attribute, Substitution Attribute, Function, Operator, Value],...]
(Optional)

Specifies the network attributes to propagate as well as how that propagation will occur during a trace. Propagated class attributes denote the key values on subnetwork controllers that are disseminated to the rest of the features in the subnetwork. For example, in an electric distribution model, you can propagate the phase value.

Propagators components are as follows:

  • Attribute—Filter by any network attribute defined in the system.
  • Substitution Attribute—Use a substituted value instead of bitset network attribute values. Substitutions are encoded based on the number of bits in the network attribute being propagated. A substitution is a mapping of each bit in phase to another bit. For example, for Phase AC, one substitution could map bit A to B, and bit C to null. In this example, the substitution for 1010 (Phase AC) is 0000-0010-0000-0000 (512). The substitution captures the mapping so you know that Phase A was mapped to B and Phase C was mapped to null, and not the other way around (that is, Phase A was not mapped to null and Phase C was not mapped to B).
  • Function—Choose from a number of calculation functions.
  • Operator—Choose from a number of operators.
  • Value—Provide a specific value for the input attribute type that would cause termination based on the operator value.
