Create Utility Network (Utility Network Tools)

Summary

Creates a utility network in an enterprise, file, or mobile geodatabase feature dataset.

A utility network is created and a structure network, with its collection of feature classes, is added to the target feature dataset. The structure feature classes will be shared across all domain networks as they are created and configured for the utility network.

For details about system requirements and supported databases, see Create a utility network.

Usage

  • The Input Feature Dataset and Service Territory Feature Class parameter values must have the same spatial reference.

  • The Service Territory Feature Class parameter value must exist in the input feature dataset and be z- and m-enabled.

  • The DEFAULTS configuration keyword will be used for the output utility network.

  • When working with an enterprise geodatabase, the following requirements must be met:

    • The geodatabase version must be 10.8.1.2.6 or later to create a utility network version 6 or earlier.

    • The geodatabase version must be 11.2.0.3.2 or later to create a utility network version 7 or later.

    • The utility network cannot be owned by an operating system-authenticated user or a database administrator or geodatabase administrator account.

    • You must sign in and set an active ArcGIS Enterprise portal with an account that has privileges to publish content; these privileges include publishing server-based layers as well as creating, updating, and deleting content. The default Publisher role includes these privileges. The active ArcGIS Enterprise portal account will be recorded in the network properties as the portal utility network owner.

    License:

    The active portal account must be licensed with the ArcGIS Advanced Editing user type extension to create, publish, and edit a utility network in an enterprise geodatabase. Query and trace operations do not require the user type extension.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Input Feature Dataset

The geodatabase feature dataset in which the utility network and schema will be created.

Feature Dataset

Utility Network Name

The name of the utility network that will be created.

String

Service Territory Feature Class

The existing polygon feature class that will be used to create the utility network's geographical extent. Utility network features cannot be created outside of this extent.

The feature class must be z- and m-enabled.

Feature Layer; Feature Class

Utility Network Version

(Optional)

Specifies the version of the utility network that will be created.

  • Compatible—The latest version of the utility network compatible with the current ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise releases will be created. When you are working in a single-user deployment, the latest version of the utility network compatible with the current ArcGIS Pro release will be created. When working in an enterprise deployment, the latest version of the utility network compatible with the current ArcGIS Enterprise release will be created. In a multimachine deployment where various versions of ArcGIS Enterprise are installed, all of the portal's federated servers will be checked to create a version of the utility network that is compatible with the latest release available. This is the default.

  • Current—The latest version of the utility network compatible with the current ArcGIS Pro release will be created.

  • 8—A version 8 utility network will be created.

  • 7—A version 7 utility network will be created.

  • 6—A version 6 utility network will be created.

  • 5—A version 5 utility network will be created.
