A domain network can be added to a utility network at any time after the utility network is created using the Add Domain Network or Add Telecom Domain Network tool to create a traditional domain network or a telecom domain network, respectively. After the domain network is created, it can be configured for use.
Beta:
The telecom domain network is available as beta functionality through the Early Adopter Community in ArcGIS Pro 3.5 and ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5, as a result some links may not be active. To access this functionality and learn more, join the Telecom Domain Network Early Adopter Community.

Requirements
The following are required when adding a domain network:
- An existing utility network must be present.
- The network topology must be disabled.
- The Domain Network Name value must be unique in the utility network.
- To create a telecom domain network, the utility network must be version 8 or later.
- When working with an enterprise geodatabase, ensure the following:
- 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.
Add a traditional domain network to an existing utility network
When working with traditional domain networks, the tier definition for all tiers must be set as hierarchical or partitioned to define the topology type of the subnetworks that will be available when a tier is created. The subnetwork controller type is also defined as part of the definition to define the type of controllers that will define subnetworks in the domain network (source or sink).
To add a traditional domain network to an existing utility network when additional systems need to be incorporated, complete the following steps:
- On the Analysis tab, in the Geoprocessing group, click Tools
to open the Geoprocessing pane. - In the Geoprocessing pane, search for and select Add Domain Network.
- For Input Utility Network, choose the utility network in which the traditional domain network will be created.
- For Domain Network Name, provide a name to identify the traditional domain network and classes that will be created.
The name must be unique and contain 20 characters or less.
- For Tier Definition, choose the definition to be used for the traditional domain network: Hierarchical or Partitioned.
- For Subnetwork Controller Type, choose Subnetwork source or Subnetwork sink.
This controls the type of subnetwork controllers that are added for the entire traditional domain network.
- Optionally, provide a name for Domain Network Alias Name.
Providing an alias name will create the domain network feature classes with an alias name.
- Click Run.
A traditional domain network is added to the designated utility network.
Add a telecom domain network to an existing utility network
When the first telecom domain network is created, three additional circuit management tables are created to describe and manage circuits in the network, a system-maintained dirty object table is created to store information about edits made to nonspatial objects, and attributes are added to the network classes and Associations table to support grouping.
To add a telecom domain network to an existing utility network to support circuit management, complete the following steps:
- On the Analysis tab, in the Geoprocessing group, click Tools to open the Geoprocessing pane.
- In the Geoprocessing pane, search for and select Add Telecom Domain Network.
- For Input Utility Network, choose the utility network in which the telecom domain network will be created.
- For Domain Network Name, provide a name to identify the telecom domain network and classes that will be created.
The name must be unique and contain 20 characters or less.
- Optionally, provide a name for Domain Network Alias Name.
Providing an alias name will create the telecom domain network feature classes with an alias name.
- Click Run.
A telecom domain network is added to the designated utility network.
