Validate Network Topology

URL:: https://<root>/<serviceName>/UtilityNetworkServer/validateNetworkTopology
Methods:: POST
Required Capability:: Requires the ArcGIS Advanced Editing user type extension license
Version Introduced:: 10.6

Description

The validateNetworkTopology operation evaluates a specified area of the network to clean dirty areas on features. Validating the network topology for a utility network maintains consistency between feature editing space and network topology space. Validating a network topology may include all or a subset of the dirty areas present in the network. Validation of network topology is supported synchronously and asynchronously.

The validateNetworkTopology operation returns the name of any subnetwork that is marked as dirty during the operation along with the domain network and tier containing the subnetwork in the response (discoveredSubnetworks). A subnetwork may be marked as dirty before the validate operation is run. In this scenario, the discoveredSubnetworks collection still contains the subnetworks modified by the validate operation. When working with hierarchical networks, if all the subnetworks in a tier are dirty, the tier is not traced during the validate operation. When this scenario is encountered, dirty subnetworks in the tier are not returned in the discoveredSubnetworks collection.

Request parameters

Parameter Details

Parameter	Details
`f`	The output format of the response. The default response format is `html`. Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 f=html \| json \| pjson`
`gdbVersion` (Optional)	Specifies the name of the geodatabase version. The default value is `sde.DEFAULT`. Syntax: `gdbVersion=<version>`
`sessionID` (Optional)	Specifies the token guid used to lock the version. If the calling client is editing a named version, the `sessionId` value must be provided; if the client is editing `DEFAULT`, the version may not be locked and the `sessionId` value should not be specified. Syntax: `sessionId=<guid>`
`validationType` (Optional)	Specifies the type of validation that will be performed. The `rebuild` and `forceRebuild` options (introduced with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9) provide tools to rebuild the network topology and repair inconsistencies discovered during the validate operation. The `rebuild` option uses the dirty areas associated with the specified `validateArea` or `validationSet` values. The `forceRebuild` option ignores any dirty areas and applies to all features in the specified `validateArea` or `validationSet` values. Both the `rebuild` and `forceRebuild` options perform a build to reconstruct the specified portions of network topology. The default is `normal`. Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 validationType=normal \| rebuild \| forceRebuild`
`validateArea` (Required)	The envelope of the area to validate. Syntax: Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 { "xmin": <minimum x-coordinate>, "ymin": <minimum y-coordinate>, "xmax": <maximum x-coordinate>, "ymax": <maximum y-coordinate>, "spatialReference": { "wkid": <spatial reference well-known identifier>, "latestWkid": <the current wkid value associated with the wkid> } }`
`validationSet` (Optional)	Introduced at ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9. Specifies the set of features and objects to validate. Syntax: Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 2 3 4 5 6 [ { “sourceId” : <long>, “globalIds” : [<guid>] } ]`
`returnEdits` (Optional)	Boolean parameter that specifies whether edited features will be returned. Returned results are organized in a layer-by-layer fashion. If set to `true`, each layer may have edited features returned in an `editedFeatures` object. The `editedFeatures` object returns full features including the original features prior to delete, the original and current features for updates, and the current rows for inserts, which may contain implicit changes (for example, as a result of a calculation rule). The response includes no edited features and `exceededTransferLimit = true` if the count of edited features to return is more than the `maxRecordCount` value. If clients are using this parameter to maintain a cache, they should invalidate the cache when `exceededTransferLimit = true` is returned. If the server encounters an error when generating the list of edits in the response, `exceededTransferLimit = true` is also returned. Edited features are returned in the spatial reference of the feature service as defined by the service's `spatialReferenceobject` value or by the `spatialReference` value of the layer's extent object. The default for this parameter is `false` . When async is `true` this parameter is ignored. Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 returnEdits=true \| false`
`async` (Optional)	If `true`, the request is processed as an asynchronous job, and a URL is returned that a client can visit to check the status of the job. The default is `false`. Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 async=true \| false`
`outSR` (Optional)	introduced at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1. Specifies the output spatial reference. Syntax: `outSR={wkid=<wkid>}`

f

The output format of the response. The default response format is html.

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
f=html | json | pjson

gdbVersion

(Optional)

Specifies the name of the geodatabase version. The default value is sde.DEFAULT.

Syntax: gdbVersion=<version>

sessionID

(Optional)

Specifies the token guid used to lock the version. If the calling client is editing a named version, the sessionId value must be provided; if the client is editing DEFAULT, the version may not be locked and the sessionId value should not be specified.

Syntax: sessionId=<guid>

validationType

(Optional)

Specifies the type of validation that will be performed. The rebuild and forceRebuild options (introduced with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9) provide tools to rebuild the network topology and repair inconsistencies discovered during the validate operation. The rebuild option uses the dirty areas associated with the specified validateArea or validationSet values. The forceRebuild option ignores any dirty areas and applies to all features in the specified validateArea or validationSet values. Both the rebuild and forceRebuild options perform a build to reconstruct the specified portions of network topology. The default is normal.

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
validationType=normal | rebuild | forceRebuild

validateArea

(Required)

The envelope of the area to validate.

Syntax:

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
{
 "xmin": <minimum x-coordinate>,
 "ymin": <minimum y-coordinate>,
 "xmax": <maximum x-coordinate>,
 "ymax": <maximum y-coordinate>,
 "spatialReference": {
  "wkid": <spatial reference well-known identifier>,
  "latestWkid": <the current wkid value associated with the wkid>
 }
}

validationSet

(Optional)

Introduced at ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9. Specifies the set of features and objects to validate.

Syntax:

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
[
 {
  “sourceId” : <long>,
  “globalIds” : [<guid>]
 }
]

returnEdits

(Optional)

Boolean parameter that specifies whether edited features will be returned. Returned results are organized in a layer-by-layer fashion. If set to true, each layer may have edited features returned in an editedFeatures object.

The editedFeatures object returns full features including the original features prior to delete, the original and current features for updates, and the current rows for inserts, which may contain implicit changes (for example, as a result of a calculation rule).

The response includes no edited features and exceededTransferLimit = true if the count of edited features to return is more than the maxRecordCount value. If clients are using this parameter to maintain a cache, they should invalidate the cache when exceededTransferLimit = true is returned. If the server encounters an error when generating the list of edits in the response, exceededTransferLimit = true is also returned.

Edited features are returned in the spatial reference of the feature service as defined by the service's spatialReferenceobject value or by the spatialReference value of the layer's extent object.

The default for this parameter is false . When async is true this parameter is ignored.

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
returnEdits=true | false

async

(Optional)

If true, the request is processed as an asynchronous job, and a URL is returned that a client can visit to check the status of the job. The default is false.

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
async=true | false

outSR

(Optional)

introduced at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1. Specifies the output spatial reference.

Syntax: outSR={wkid=<wkid>}
