Update Is Connected (Utility Network)

Summary

Updates the IsConnected attribute on all the network features for the specified utility network based on connectivity.

Every feature in the line, device, and junction feature classes as well as every object in the domain network's junction object and edge object tables contains an Is connected attribute. This attribute helps identify isolated network features and objects by maintaining information about their connectivity to subnetwork controllers. When a feature is created, regardless of its connectivity, the Is connected attribute is set to unknown. This attribute is modified for network features depending on the operation being performed.

Note:

Starting with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1, the Update Is Connected operation will process asynchronously using the UtilityNetworkTools geoprocessing service when working with a utility network in an enterprise geodatabase. The UtilityNetworkTools service is preconfigured in the System folder for feature services that include a utility network. It has a longer time-out setting and is reserved for utility network geoprocessing tasks.

To learn more about this attribute, see Is connected attribute.
