Delete a color scheme

  2. Delete a color scheme from a utility network

Color schemes (or color codes) are used to distinguish fiber strands, cable jackets, and connectors in fiber optic systems based on the colors of the strand, tube, or sheath that encases them in a telecom domain network.

Color schemes that are defined for a utility network cannot be modified. Use the Delete Color Scheme tool followed by the Add Color Scheme tool to make changes to existing color schemes through deletion and re-creation.

Requirements

To delete a color scheme, the following requirements must be met:

  • The Input Utility Network parameter must reference a utility network version 8 or later.
  • The groups Level value must start with 1 and increase sequentially.
  • 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.

License:
The active portal account must be licensed with the ArcGIS Advanced Editing user type extension to create, publish, and edit a utility network in an enterprise geodatabase. Query and trace operations do not require the user type extension.

Delete a color scheme from a utility network

To delete a color scheme from a utility network, complete the following steps:

  1. On the Analysis tab, in the Geoprocessing group, click Tools Tools to open the Geoprocessing pane.
  2. In the Geoprocessing pane, search for and select Delete Color Scheme.
  3. For the Input Utility Network parameter, specify a utility network.
  4. For the Domain Network parameter, use the drop-down list to specify the telecom domain network containing the color scheme to be deleted.
  5. For the Color Scheme Name parameter, use the drop-down list to specify the color scheme to be deleted.
  6. Click Run.
    7. The color scheme is deleted from the utility network and the Network_<ID>_ColorScheme coded value domain. Any features referencing the deleted color scheme are updated to reflect the domain’s default value of Unknown.
