Preparing for the Utility Network

• You should implement the utility network when it is the right technology for you

- ArcMap 10.6.1 and the geometric network will be supported until at least 2024

• To make an informed decision about when to implement the utility network and be

better prepared to use it we suggest the following activities

1 – Ensure Data Quality

• The utility network may expose issues with your current data

• Perform rigorous data quality checks and data clean up now

• This will make utility network implementation easier and give you higher quality

data today

2 – Document Integrations with Other Business Systems

• Identify and document:

- Systems that are deployed on top of ArcGIS

- 3rd party systems that are integrated with ArcGIS

- Database views from 3rd party systems

- Workflows/systems that require data exports from ArcGIS

3 – Document Configurations and Customizations Specific to Network Data

• For example:

- Editing productivity tools

- Custom geometric network traces

- Database triggers

- Web apps or mobile apps consuming network data

4 – If Using Attribute Assistant

• Document your all Attribute Assistant Methods in your Dynamic Value Table

• Capture both workflow and business reason for workflow

5 – Not Using ArcGIS Pro Yet? Start!

• You will need to use ArcGIS Pro to create and administer the utility network

• ArcGIS Pro is the power desktop client for utility network editing and analysis

6 - Create a Development Environment for the Utility Network

• Separate from your product GIS environment, set up an environment for:

- Hands on learning about the utility network

- Testing prior to migration

• Suggest a virtual environment

7 – Deploy the ArcGIS Utility Network Configurations

• Esri is supplying ArcGIS Utility Network Configurations that make a generic utility

network behave like a real world resource network

• Each Utility Network Configuration includes:

- A data model supplied as an Asset Package

- Maps for network publishing, editing and viewing

- Example workflows

- Sample data

• Use the sample data and example workflows to become familiar with the utility

network

8 – Determine the Level of Effort to Migrate Your Data to a Utility Network

• Understand differences between your current schema and Esri supplied Asset

Packages

• Document any gaps

• Esri is providing Workbenches for Data Interoperability Extension and FME to assist

with migration

9 – Leverage Esri Resources

• Questions

• Documentation

• Training

• Professional Services

Utility Network Packages:

• Implementation Planning

• Pilot/Proof of Concept

• Data Migration Training Workshop

• Data Health Check – Using ArcGIS Data Reviewer
