Configure External Event Behaviors With LRS (Location Referencing Tools)

Summary

Configures an external event in an LRS without connecting to an external event system.

Usage

  • The geodatabase where the external event is created and in which the LRS resides must be an enterprise geodatabase.

  • This tool can also be used to modify the name, geometry type, and event behaviors of the existing configured external events.

  • The following event behavior rules are set by default:

    Activity

    Rule

    Calibrate Route

    Stay Put

    Retire Route

    Stay Put

    Extend Route

    Stay Put

    Reassign Route

    Stay Put

    Realign Route

    Stay Put

    Reverse Route

    Stay Put

    Carto Realign Route

    Honor Route Measure

  • To update external events, provide required route and event information in the web service.

Feature Layer

Geometry Type

(Optional)

Specifies the geometry type that will be used for the external event or table.

String

Calibrate Rule

(Optional)

Specifies the event behavior rule that will be used for the calibrate activity.

  • Stay putThe geographic location of the event will be preserved, and measures may change. This is the default.

String

Retire Rule

(Optional)

Specifies the event behavior rule that will be used for the retire activity.

String

Reassign Rule

(Optional)

Specifies the event behavior rule that will be used for the reassign activity.
