Set the divide and combine policies for grouped object attributes

You can use the Set Telecom Object Divide Policy and Set Telecom Object Combine Policy tools to control how attributes on grouped objects in a telecom domain network are handled during a divide or combine operation in applyEdits.

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.

By setting the object divide policy for a grouped object's attribute fields, you can control how attribute values are handled when the grouped object is divided, either by apportioning the values by the number of units in the new groups or by setting the default value for both groups. This is defined for each user-defined attribute on the grouped junction or edge object. By default, when an attribute does not have a policy specified, new objects are created with the same attribute values as the original object.

Setting the object combine policy for a grouped object's attribute fields allows you to control how the attribute values are handled when grouped objects are combined, either summing the values of the combined objects, or by setting the default value in the attribute field for the updated object.

Note:

By default, when an attribute does not have a defined combine policy, the combine operation will duplicate the current attribute value in the updated object when all objects are from the same object class and have matching attribute values.

Requirements

To set divide or combine object policies for grouped object attributes, the following requirements must be met:

• The Input Utility Network parameter value must reference a utility network version 8 and later.

• The Domain Network parameter value must reference a telecom domain network.

• The network topology must be disabled.
• 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.

Set the object divide policy for a grouped object

To set the divide object policy for grouped object attributes, complete the following steps:

1. On the Analysis tab, in the Geoprocessing group, click Tools to open the Geoprocessing pane.
2. In the Geoprocessing pane, search for and select Set Telecom Object Divide Policy.
3. For the Input Utility Network parameter, specify a utility network.
4. For the Domain Network parameter, specify a telecom domain network.
5. For the Input Table parameter, specify the junction object or edge object table containing grouped objects.

   Any attributes on the junction object or edge object table with existing object divide policies are loaded and displayed under the Policies parameter.

6. For the Policies parameter, specify the Attribute and Policy that will apply.

   Attribute displays editable fields for the object. When an attribute does not have a policy specified, new objects are created with the same attribute values as the original object.

   • Unit apportioned—Attribute values from the divided object will be apportioned in the attribute field of the updated objects. This applies to fields with numeric data types only.
   • Default value—The default value for the attribute field will be set for the updated and inserted objects.
7. Click Run.

The object divide policy is set for the specified attributes. The view the object divide policies for junction or edge objects in a telecom domain network, open the utility network's layer properties and view the Network Properties tab.

Set the object combine policy for a grouped object

To set the combine object policy for grouped object attributes, complete the following steps:

1. On the Analysis tab, in the Geoprocessing group, click Tools to open the Geoprocessing pane.
2. In the Geoprocessing pane, search for and select Set Telecom Object Combine Policy.
3. For the Input Utility Network parameter, specify a utility network.
4. For the Domain Network parameter, specify a telecom domain network.
5. For the Input Table parameter, specify the junction object or edge object table containing grouped objects.

   Any attributes on the junction object or edge object table with existing object combine policies are loaded and displayed under the Policies parameter.

6. For the Policies parameter, specify the Attribute and Policy that will apply.

   Attribute displays editable fields for the object. When an attribute does not have a policy specified, the combine operation copies and duplicates the existing attribute value in the updated object.

   • Sum of values—Attribute values from the combined objects will be summed in the attribute field of the updated object. This applies to fields with numeric data types only.
   • Default value—The default value for the attribute field will be set for the updated object.
7. Click Run.

The object combine policy is set for the specified attributes. The view the object combine policies for junction or edge objects in a telecom domain network, open the utility network's layer properties and view the Network Properties tab.
