Validate Topology (Data Management)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Summary

Validates a geodatabase topology.

This tool performs the following operations:

  • Cracking and clustering of feature vertices to find features that share geometry (have common coordinates)
  • Inserting common coordinate vertices into features that share geometry
  • Running a set of integrity checks to identify any violations of the rules that have been defined for the topology

Usage

  • Specific portions of a topology can be validated using the Extent environment and checking the Use extent environment parameter.

  • This tool will only process dirty areas. To learn more about dirty areas, see Topology in ArcGIS.

  • Starting at ArcGIS Pro 2.6, the input topology layer can be from a topology service if the service is published with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 or later. If the layer has been added to the Contents pane, you can drag the layer to the Input Topology parameter, or you can provide the URL of the topology layer feature service, for example, https://myserver.mydomain.com/server/rest/services/myTopoService/FeatureServer/0.

  • When the input topology is from a feature service, this tool performs the validate process asynchronously.

    License:
    When working with branch versioning in an ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 or later deployment, organization members must be assigned a license for the ArcGIS Advanced Editing user type extension to use this tool.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Input Topology

The geodatabase topology that will be validated.

Topology Layer
Use extent environment
(Optional)

Specifies whether the Extent environment value for the topology or the full extent of the topology will be validated.

  • Checked—The Extent environment value for the topology will be validated. If the environment has not been set, the full extent will be validated.
  • Unchecked—The full extent of the topology will be validated. This is the default.

Boolean
