Apply Event Behaviors (Location Referencing)

Summary

Updates the event locations for all event feature classes registered with the input network based on the route edit performed.

The events are updated pursuant to the configured event behavior.

Illustration

Usage

• An LRS dataset is required to run this tool.

  Learn more about creating an LRS dataset in ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing or creating an LRS dataset in ArcGIS Roads and Highways .

• This tool will process all event behaviors for all event feature classes registered with the input network.

• This tool will process edits that have not been processed earlier in the working geodatabase version. Once the event behavior for a particular route edit is processed, it is marked as processed. When you post the edits to the parent version, if the event behavior is already processed, they will not be processed again.

  Note:

  Selection or definition queries used to filter the route or event records in the map are ignored to keep events in sync with route edits.

  Caution:

  This tool modifies the event records in the event feature classes. See Tools that do not create output datasets for more information and strategies to avoid unwanted data changes.

• When conflict prevention is enabled and route edits (including create, realign, reassign, retire, extend, calibrate, and cartographic realignment) are made in a child version, run this tool before posting that version. If the route edits are made in the default version, you must run this tool before any child version can be reconciled with the default version.

• This tool supports conflict prevention and will attempt to acquire and transfer locks.

  Learn more about conflict prevention in ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing or conflict prevention in ArcGIS Roads and Highways.

• This tool automatically regenerates intersection features if all of the following criteria are met:

  • The edit log contains a cartographic realignment record for an LRS Network.
  • The cartographically realigned network has at least one LRS Event that is referent to an intersection associated with the network.
  • The LRS Event to be updated is configured with the Honor Referent Location behavior.

Code sample

ApplyEventBehaviors example 1 (stand-alone script)

Demonstrates how to use the ApplyEventBehaviors function as a stand-alone Python script.

# Name: ApplyEventBehaviors_Pro_ex1.py
# Description: Processes event behaviors for events impacted by edits to the LRS Network in a stand-alone script.
# Requirements: ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

# Check out any necessary licenses
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("LocationReferencing")

# Tool variables
in_route_features = r"C:\Data\UPDM.gdb\LRS\P_StationSeriesNetwork"

# Execute the tool
arcpy.locref.ApplyEventBehaviors(in_route_features)

# Check in licenses
arcpy.CheckInExtension('LocationReferencing')

ApplyEventBehaviors example 2 (Python window)

Demonstrates how to use the ApplyEventBehaviors function in the Python window.

# Name: ApplyEventBehaviors_ex2.py
# Description: Process event behaviors for events impacted by edits to the LRS Network in the Python window.
# Requires: ArcGIS Location Referencing

# Set tool variables
in_route_features = "Station_Series_Network"

# Set current workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\Data\Outputs.gdb"

# Execute the tool
arcpy.locref.ApplyEventBehaviors(in_route_features)

ApplyEventBehaviors example 3 (stand-alone script)

Demonstrates how to use the ApplyEventBehaviors function as a stand-alone Python script in a feature service.

# Name: ApplyEventBehaviors_Pro_ex3.py
# Description: Processes event behaviors using a feature service. It is recommended to work in a version and post it into the default version.
# Requires: ArcGIS Location Referencing

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

# Check out any necessary licenses.
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("LocationReferencing")

## Input LRS route network is in feature service.  Signing in portal is required to access the feature service.
arcpy.SignInToPortal('https://yourdomain.com/portal', 'username', 'password')

## Map the LRS network from the feature service. Here, 1 corresponds to the LRS network.
in_route_features = r"https://yourdomain.com/server/rest/services/FeatureServiceName/FeatureServer/1"

# Execute the tool
arcpy.locref.ApplyEventBehaviors(in_route_features)

# Check in licenses
arcpy.CheckInExtension('LocationReferencing')
