Enable Network Topology (Trace Network Tools)

Summary

Enables a network topology for a trace network.

A network topology is necessary for analytic operations, such as tracing, and to use network diagrams. A network topology can also be enabled to find error features.

Usage

  • All trace network feature classes must have a spatial index.

  • When working with an enterprise geodatabase, the requirements are as follows:

    • The input trace network must be from a database connection established as the database trace network owner.

    • This tool must be run when connected to the default version.

    • The trace network must be registered as branch versioned.

    • The trace network must be in a nonversioned state to use the Only generate errors advanced option.

    • License:

      Organization members must be assigned a license for the ArcGIS Advanced Editing user type extension to use this tool in an enterprise deployment.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Input Trace Network

The trace network for which the network topology will be enabled.

Trace Network; Trace Network Layer

Maximum number of errors

(Optional)

The maximum number of errors that can be discovered before the process of enabling the network topology will stop. Errors will be recorded in the errors tables. A parameter value of -1 or no value will allow an unbounded number of errors to be discovered. The default value is 10000.

Caution:

Increasing the maximum number of errors value will increase the length of time it takes to enable the topology.

Long

Only generate errors

(Optional)

Specifies whether the topology will be enabled or only network errors will be generated.

  • Checked—The trace network will only be evaluated for network errors. The topology will not be enabled. If you are working with an enterprise geodatabase, the data cannot be registered as versioned. Once the maximum number of errors specified is reached, the operation is canceled, and any errors discovered before the threshold specified are written to the error feature tables. This allows you to inspect and fix errors in the network before you enable the topology.

  • Unchecked—The topology will be enabled and any existing errors will generate error features. This is the default.
