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')
