select the pipe hide length field to highlight it.

01:22

Then click the remove arrow,

01:24

you are temporarily un mapping this field for the sake of comparison.

01:28

Otherwise all the pipes in the model will show us having a different length.

01:33

Click OK? To save the changes and return to the GIS

01:36

gateway dialogue,

01:39

drag the GIS gateway dialogue to the side to view the map of the entire pipe network.

01:45

Then click load to open the load data from GIS

01:48

layer or table dialogue and drag it to the side,

01:54

select the pipes, new pipe import cluster. So that only that layer is highlighted.

01:58

Then click compare to see the list of new pipes that will be added to the model.

02:04

02:07

02:24

data difference.

02:25

Dialogue appears with the list of pipe updates that will be done on the model.

02:30

This comparison table identifies field changes that

02:33

will be made by this exchange cluster.

02:36

The fields highlighted in red represent those

02:39

that are different between the two sources.

02:42

For example, you can see that several pipes have been upsized to 12 inches.

02:47

You can use the table to identify differences between the GIS and model to

02:52

determine which elements and fields will be updated when the exchange is run.

02:56

Once you have reviewed the table,

02:58

close the GIS data difference and load data from GIS layer or table dialogs.

03:05

You can now remap the pipe length field in the GIS gateway

03:09

in the GIS exchange cluster section, select pipe update and then click edit

03:16

on the field mapping tab,

03:17

click auto map to remap the length field you temporarily disabled,

03:22

click OK to save your changes to this exchange cluster

03:25

and then click close to exit the GIS gateway.

Step-by-step:

When you use the GIS Gateway to create new features or update changes to existing features, you can compare and identify what model elements will be added or modified when the GIS exchanges are completed.

  1. Open the appropriate .aprx file in ArcGIS Pro.
  2. From the ribbon, InfoWater Pro tab, Project panel, click Initialize.

To help see the differences more clearly in the comparison, hide the Junctions layer and temporarily un-map the PIPEHYD->LENGTH field:

  1. In the ArcGIS Contents panel, deselect the Junctions layer to better view the pipe layer.
    The Contents panel with the Junctions layer deselected and highlighted.
  2. In the ArcGIS Pro ribbon, Map tab, Navigate panel, click Full Extent to zoom the map view to the full extent of the model.
    The ArcGIS Pro ribbon, Map tab, Navigate panel with Full Extent command called out and selected.
  3. On the ribbon, InfoWater Pro tab, Edit panel, click GIS Gateway.
  4. In the GIS Gateway dialog box, GIS Exchange Cluster group, select PIPE_UPDATE.
  5. Click Edit.
    The GIS Gateway dialog box with PIPE_UPDATE selected and Edit called out.
  6. In the GIS Exchange Cluster dialog box, from the Field Mapping tab, Networks/GIS Data Field Mapping list, select PIPEHYD->LENGTH.
  7. Click Remove (<).
    The GIS Exchange Cluster dialog box, Field Mapping tab with PIPEHYD->LENGTH selected and the Remove button called out.

Note: You are temporarily un-mapping this field for the sake of comparison; otherwise, all the pipes in the model will show as having a different length.

  1. Click OK to save the changes.
  2. Drag the GIS Gateway dialog box to better view the map of the entire pipe network.
  3. Click Load.
    The GIS Gateway dialog box with Load called out and selected.
  4. Drag the Load Data from GIS Layer or Table dialog box to the side.
  5. Select PIPES, New Pipe Import.
  6. Click Compare.
  7. In the GIS Data Difference dialog box, review the list of new pipes to be added.
    The Load Data from GIS Layer or Table dialog box with PIPES, New Pipe Import selected, and the Compare button called out.
  8. Close the GIS Data Difference dialog box.
  9. In the Load Data from GIS Layer or Table dialog box, select PIPE_UPDATE, GIS Pipe Update.
  10. Click Compare.
  11. In the GIS Data Difference dialog box, review the list of pipe updates that displays.
    The GIS Data Difference dialog box with updates listed and the DIAMETER and STATUS columns highlighted.

This comparison table identifies field changes that this exchange cluster will make. The fields highlighted in red represent those that are different between the two sources. For example, you can see that several pipes have been upsized to 12 inches.

Use the table to identify differences between the GIS and model to determine which elements and fields will be updated when the exchange is run.

  1. Close the GIS Data Difference dialog box.
  2. Close the Load Data from GIS Layer or Table dialog box.

To re-map the pipe length field:

  1. In the GIS Gateway dialog box, GIS Exchange Cluster section, select PIPE_UPDATE.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. On the Field Mapping tab, click Auto Map (>>).
  4. Click OK to save the changes.
  5. Click Close to exit the GIS Gateway.
