ArcGIS Pro 3.4 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Data.UtilityNetwork.Trace Namespace / Tracer Class / Trace Method / Trace(TraceArgument,ServiceSynchronizationType) Method
The input arguments to the trace.
Specifies which implementation of the service endpoint to call. This parameter is ignored for non-services based utility networks.
Example

In This Topic
    Trace(TraceArgument,ServiceSynchronizationType) Method
    In This Topic
    Executes a trace.
    Syntax

    Parameters

    traceArgument
    The input arguments to the trace.
    serviceSynchronizationType
    Specifies which implementation of the service endpoint to call. This parameter is ignored for non-services based utility networks.

    Return Value

    A IReadOnlyList of concrete Result whose type corresponds to ResultType set in TraceArgument.ResultTypes.
    Exceptions
    Remarks
    Derived implementations may impose stronger preconditions. For example, a concrete Tracer implementation may throw a System.ArgumentException if traceArgument is created using the TraceArgument.TraceArgument Constructor(Subnetwork) constructor when ArcGIS.Core.Data.UtilityNetwork.Subnetwork does not apply to the particular tracer.
