Generate Events (Location Referencing Tools)

Summary

Regenerates shapes for event features registered with an LRS Network.

Usage

  • An LRS dataset is required to run this tool.

  • Use the event whose features need to be regenerated based on the route and measure of the event as input.

  • This tool supports conflict prevention and will attempt to acquire and transfer locks.

    Learn more about conflict prevention in ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing or conflict prevention in ArcGIS Roads and Highways.

  • When conflict prevention is enabled for the tool, any events being generated by the tool will be locked.

    • While working in the default version, the locks acquired are released automatically when the tool completes.

    • While working in a named version, the locks acquired remain in On Post status when the tool completes. The lock owner must post or delete the version to release the locks.

    • While working in a named version, if the tool run is canceled by interruption, the locks are acquired and remain in a releasable state after the tool completes.

  • When the Bypass events with null route ID and measure fields parameter is checked, the following are supported:

    • The shapes and attributes of event features with null route ID and measure fields remain unchanged.

    • The tool will provide a text file of event features that are bypassed.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Event Layer

The event for which shapes will be regenerated.

Feature Layer

Bypass events with null route ID and measure fields

(Optional)

Specifies whether event features with null route ID and measure fields will be bypassed.

This parameter is only available in a combined LRS and Utility Network deployment.

  • Checked—Event features with null route ID and measure fields will be bypassed.

  • Unchecked—Event features with null route ID and measure fields will not be bypassed. This is the default.

Boolean

Derived output

Label Explanation Data type

Output Event Layers

The updated events feature layer.

Note:

Validation results for this tool are written to the ArcGIS Server directory. This file is automatically cleaned up in 10 minutes by default, which may not be enough time to process all of the validations and write them to the workstation that is running ArcGIS Pro. For larger data loads, it is recommended that you adjust the maximum file age to at least one hour.

Feature Layer

Output Results File

A text file that details changes made by the tool.
