Validate Network Topology
- URL:https://<utilitynetworkservice-url>/validateNetworkTopology(POST only)
- Version Introduced:10.6
Description
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.

Request Parameters
Parameter | Details |
---|---|
f | Description: Optional parameter representing the output format of the response. The default response format is html. Values: html | json |
gdbVersion | Description: Optional parameter specifying the name of the geodatabase version (default is DEFAULT). Syntax: gdbVersion=<version> |
sessionID | Description: Optional parameter representing the token (guid) used to lock the version. If the calling client is editing a named version, the sessionId must be provided ; if the client is editing DEFAULT, the version may not be locked and the sessionId should not be specified. Syntax : sessionId=<guid> |
validationType | Description: Optional parameter that specifies the type of validation to perform. The default is normal. With the repair validationType, the specified portions of the network index are reconstructed from scratch. ![]() The parameter is not currently implemented and will be used in a future release. Values: "normal" | "repair" |
validateArea | Required Description: The envelope of the area to validate. Syntax:
|
validationSet | Description: Optional parameter that specifies the set of features and objects to validate. ![]() The parameter is not currently implemented and will be used in a future release. Syntax:
|
async | Description: 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. See the topic on asynchronous usage for more information. The default is false. Values: "true" | "false" |
returnEdits | Description: Optional boolean parameter that returns features edited. Results returned are organized in a layer by layer fashion. If returnEdits is 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 (e.g. as a result of a calculation rule). The response includes no editedFeatures and exceededTransferLimit = true if the count of edited features to return is more than the maxRecordCount. 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 is the response, exceededTransferLimit = true is also returned. Edited features are returned in the spatial reference of the feature service as defined by the services spatialReferenceobject or by the spatialReference of the layers extent object. The default for this parameter is false. Values: "true" | "false" |
