Modify LRS Network (Location Referencing Tools)

Summary

Modifies an LRS Network in a Location Referencing linear referencing system (LRS).

Usage

  • The input feature class must represent a Location Referencing LRS Network.

  • This tool does not delete any LRS Networks, feature classes, fields, or data.

  • This tool updates internal metadata tables that store information about the input LRS Network.

  • This tool allows the remapping of LRS Network fields such as route ID, route name, date, and measure fields. If line support is enabled, the line ID, line name, and line order fields can also be remapped.

  • Any new fields that will be used for field mapping should be created in the underlying LRS Network feature class before using this tool.

  • The ability for an LRS Network to support lines, such as for an engineering network, can be added or removed with this tool.

  • If a network that supports lines is present in the geodatabase workspace of the input LRS Network, an LRS Derived Network can be configured with this tool. An existing LRS Derived Network can also be unregistered from an LRS Line Network and registered with a different LRS Line Network.

  • A field from the input LRS Network can only be mapped to a single LRS Network field.

  • The Route ID Field can be a single field or a concatenation of multiple fields. If the network uses a concatenated route ID, all of the fields that compose the route ID should be present in the network feature class.

  • The ability for an LRS Network to support a user-generated route ID network can be added or removed with this tool.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

LRS Network Feature Class

The input LRS Network feature class to be modified.

Feature Layer

Route ID Field

(Optional)

The field in the input feature class that will be mapped as the LRS Network route ID. The field type must match the RouteId field type of the Centerline_Sequence table and must either be a string or GUID field type.

Field

Route Name Field

(Optional)

A string field in the input feature class that will be mapped as the LRS Network route name.

Field

From Date Field

(Optional)

A date field in the input feature class that will be mapped as the LRS Network from date.

Field

To Date Field

(Optional)

A date field in the input feature class that will be mapped as the LRS Network to date.

Field

Derive From Line Network

(Optional)

Determines if the current LRS network will be configured as an LRS Derived Network.

  • As is—The current LRS Network derived property will not be changed. This is the default.

  • Derive—The input LRS Derived Network will be modified to become an LRS Derived Network. The line network name parameter must also be provided to specify which LRS Network to derive from.

  • Do not derive—The input LRS Derived Network will be modified to no longer be an LRS Derived Network.

String

Line Network Name

(Optional)

The name of the LRS Line Network to which the input LRS Derived Network will be registered. The input LRS Line Network must reside in the same geodatabase workspace and LRS as the LRS network feature class. This parameter is only used if the Derive From Line Network parameter is set to Derive.

String

Include Fields to Support Lines

(Optional)

Determines if the current LRS network will be configured to support lines.

  • As is—The current LRS Network line support property will not be changed. This is the default.

  • Include—The input LRS Network will be modified to add support for lines. The line id field, line name field, and line order field parameters must also be provided, and valid fields to map to these parameters must exist in the LRS network feature class.

  • Do not include—The input LRS Network will be modified to remove support for lines.

String

Line ID Field

(Optional)

The field in the input feature class that will be mapped as the LRS Network line ID. This parameter is only used if the Include Fields to Support Lines parameter is set to Include. The field type must match the RouteId field type of the Centerline_Sequence table and must either be a string of exactly 38 characters or a GUID field type.

Field

Line Name Field

(Optional)

A string field in the input feature class that will be mapped as the LRS Network line name. This parameter is only used if the Include Fields to Support Lines parameter is set to Include.

Field

Line Order Field

(Optional)

The field in the input feature class that will be mapped as the LRS Network line order. This parameter is only used if the Include Fields to Support Lines parameter is set to Include. This must be a long integer field type.

Field

Route ID Field Configuration

(Optional)

Determines the route ID configuration for an LRS Network.

  • As is—The current LRS Network route ID configuration will not be changed. This is the default.

  • Autogenerated Route ID—The route ID field will be an autogenerated GUID, and the route name can be configured as an LRS field.

  • Single-Field Route ID—Supported only for nonline networks.

  • Multi-Field Route ID—Supported only for nonline networks. More than one field is needed to form the concatenated route ID.

String

Field(s)

(Optional)

The individual fields in the LRS Network Feature Class that will be used to form the route ID. This parameter is only used if the Route ID Field Configuration parameter's Multi-Field Route ID option is set. The fields must be either string or number integer field types.

Field

Derived output
