Apply the Asset Package

After you create the Utility Network (UN), you apply the asset package to it. The result is a series of tables, feature layers, and relationships that define your GIS project. Fiber Manager XI works with these tables and layers to represent them as features on a map.

To configure the UN:

1. In ArcGIS Pro, open the Geoprocessing window and search for Apply Asset Package.

2. Click the tool and the Apply Asset Package window opens.

3. Navigate to your unzipped asset package file, such as Fiber_SP1_Data_Model.gdb, click the file and click OK.

   Alternatively, you can click and drag your data model folder from under Databases to the Asset Package field.

4. Under Domain Networks, enable both Structure and Communications.

   To increase performance, enable Calculate Spatial Index and Analyze.

5. In the Catalog window, navigate to where you created the geodatabase when you staged the UN. Expand the Databases folder until you see the UN file. Drag and drop the file into the Input Utility Network field and click Run.

   Do not enable Load data, unless you want the sample assets included. If you are performing a data migration, you do not want the sample assets in your geodatabase.

   TIP: If you do want to include the sample data, we recommend running Apply Asset Package twice: first with Load Data unchecked, and then again with Load Data checked.
   

6. In the Catalog pane, refresh both the geodatabase and the FiberNetwork dataset.

   

   You should see all the Fiber Manager XI and UN tables. This data can now be versioned and published as a feature service.
