Usage

• When working with an enterprise geodatabase, the Input Utility Network parameter value must be from a database connection established as the database utility network owner.

• The information in the .csv file is stored in the following format: ASSOCIATIONTYPE, FROMFEATURECLASS, FROMASSETGROUP, FROMASSETTYPE, FROMGLOBALID, FROMTERMINAL, TOFEATURECLASS, TOASSETGROUP, TOASSETTYPE, TOGLOBALID, TOTERMINAL, ISCONTENTVISIBLE, PERCENTALONG.

Parameters

Dialog

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Input Utility Network	The utility network containing the associations to export.	Utility Network; Utility Network Layer
Association Type	Specifies the type of association to export. All—All association types in the utility network will be exported to a .csv file. Junction-junction connectivity—Connectivity associations allowing two junction subtypes to connect via a connectivity association (features are offset geometrically) will be exported to a .csv file. Containment—The containment association type will be exported to a .csv file. Attachment—The structural attachment association type will be exported to a .csv file. Junction-edge connectivity (from side of edge)—The junction-edge (from side of edge) connectivity association type will be exported to a .csv file. Junction-edge connectivity (midspan)—The junction-edge (midspan) connectivity association type will be exported to a .csv file. Junction-edge connectivity (to side of edge)—The junction-edge (to side of edge) connectivity association type will be exported to a .csv file.	String
Output File	The name and location of the .csv file that will be generated.	File

Code sample

ExportAssociations example 1 (Python window)

This sample script exports all associations for a utility network called GridNetwork.

import arcpy
arcpy.un.ExportAssociations("GridNetwork", "ALL", 
                            r"C:\Temp\AllAssociations.csv")

ExportAssociations example 2 (Python window)

This sample script exports junction-junction connectivity associations for a utility network called GridNetwork.

import arcpy
arcpy.un.ExportAssociations("GridNetwork", "JUNCTION_JUNCTION_CONNECTIVITY", 
                            r"C:\Temp\JJAssociations.csv")

ExportAssociations example 3 (Python window)

This sample script exports containment associations for a utility network called GridNetwork.

import arcpy
arcpy.un.ExportAssociations("GridNetwork", "CONTAINMENT", 
                            r"C:\Temp\ContainmentAssociations.csv")

ExportAssociations example 4 (Python window)

This sample script exports structural attachment associations for a utility network called GridNetwork.

import arcpy
arcpy.un.ExportAssociations("GridNetwork", "STRUCTURAL_ATTACHMENT", 
                            r"C:\Temp\StructureAssociations.csv")
