ArcFM Connect Network Feature

Connects a point feature to the network when it is not currently part of the network and is moved to snap to another network feature.

This AU should be fired along with (and BEFORE) the same network-related AUs as executed in OnFeatureCreate.

The time to execute this AU is about the same amount of time as it takes to initially place the feature.

Network junctions (e.g., Fuses, Transformers)

This AU is available ONLY on junction features.

ArcFM Fiber Calculated Circuit Length

Calculates the estimated length of a circuit based on the best length information stored on each cable in the circuit. The autoupdater looks for length in the field with the CALCULATEDFIBERCIRCUITLENGTH model name assigned on the F_Circuit table. If there are multiple fields with this model name, it looks at fields with the following model names (in order) and uses the first it finds:

It adds up all the values it finds and stores that value in the field assigned the CALCULATEDFIBERCIRCUITLENGTH model name in the F_Circuit table.

In the classic data model this is assigned to the F_Circuit table.

In the flexible data model, it is assigned to the table assigned the FIBERCIRCUITTABLE model name.

FIBERCIRCUITTABLE, FIBERCIRCUITPARTICIPANT, FIBERCIRCUITGLOBALID, POINTLENGTH SEGMENTGLASSLENGTH, SEGMENTLENGTH, CALCULATEDFIBERCIRCUITLENGTH

Desktop

ArcFM Fiber Object Deleted

Cleans up records from the F_FIBERCONNECTIONOBJECT table when a feature is deleted from the geometric network. This is essential to keeping the data from accumulating large numbers of orphaned features in the database.

This AU also updates the SingleModeAvailability and MultiModeAvailability fields as related objects are deleted.

Any classes that have the FIBEROBJECT model name assigned

CONNECTIONOBJECT, ACONNECTIONOBJECTGLOBALID, BCONNECTIONOBJECTGLOBALID, FIBERCONNECTABLEOBJECT

Desktop

ArcFM Fiber Optic Cable Length

Maintains the length fields on linear fiber features with length, e.g., sheath features.

The AU will first determine how to operate based on the value in the CableLengthSource field. If this field is set to the Default value of "GIS + Slack Loop Length", then it will automatically summarize the GIS Shape length, plus any length stored in the FiberSlackLoop Length field and any length stored in the Riser Length fields.

If the CableLengthSource is set to "Document / Field Notes", then the AU will populate the CableLength field with the value stored in the FieldNotesLength field. Note that the FieldNotesLength value will be multiplied by the Twist Factor to populate the length.

If the CableLengthSource is set to "OTDR Length", this autoupdater populates the CableLength field with the value stored in the FieldNotesLength field. This value is not multiplied by the twist factor because the OTDR measurement value already includes the twist factor.

If the CableLengthSource is set to "Footstamps", then the AU will calculate the absolute difference between the StartCableIncrementMarking and EndCableIncrementMarking values.

In the classic data model this is assigned to:

FiberOpticCable

TransitionPoint

FiberSlackLoop

In the flexible data model, it can be assigned to any linear feature with length or any point feature representing length.

FIBEROBJECT, SLACKLOOP, POINTLENGTH, SHEATHLENGTH, SHEATHLENGTHSOURCE, STARTFOOTSTAMP, ENDFOOTSTAMP, TWISTFACTOR, FIELDNOTESLENGTH

NOTE: This AU can be placed on objects that have the FIBEROBJECT model name and have a field with either the POINTLENGTH or SHEATHLENGTH model name.

ArcFM Fiber Optic Cable Splitter

Splits fiber optic cables while maintaining their configured connections on either end. Also creates pass-through connections between the two new cables.

In the classic data model this is assigned to:

DeviceLocation

In the flexible data model, it can be assigned to any point feature assigned the FIBEROBJECT model name and splits linear fiber features.
