Create Geodatabase Regions

In , you create Geodatabase Regions (GRRs) and schedule how often they update from the geodatabase. Once you create a GRR, it exists until you delete it. Refer to Schedule Updates for GRRs for information about routinely updating these GRRs, and GRR Delta Detection for information about GRRs with Deltas.

When configuring GRRs, keep these points in mind:

• GRRs are snapshots of a subnetwork. When you create a GRR, you are capturing the state of a subnetwork at a specific time.

• The GRRs you create are for the tenant as a whole. They are not per operational map.

• If there are changes to the features within a subnetwork, those changes are not captured in the GRR until another snapshot is taken. This is why you need to configure Schedule Updates for GRRs.

Follow these steps to create a GRR:

1. In the plugin, on the Mapping tab, select Geodatabase Regions from the menu.

   

2. Click the Add button.

3. Search for and select subnetworks. You can click an individual subnetwork to highlight it or use the Shift and Ctrl keys to select multiple subnetworks.

   A list of subnetworks, across all tiers of the Utility Network that do not yet have a GRR created, is provided. You can search by typing in part of the name of the subnetwork. Then, press Enter or click Search. It is a keyword-style search that queries anywhere within the name.

   

   NOTE: Dirty subnetworks are filtered out from this view.

4. Once they are highlighted, click Save. A notification is provided when the process is complete.
