This is an optional data configuration. It is not required to process AMI events.

If your network makes use of canary devices, they must be configured in the geodatabase. When processing AMI events, Responder's prediction engine recognizes them using the RXCANARY model name. This model name may be assigned to a feature class (all features in that class are treated as canary devices), or you may use a subtype on a feature class (only features with that specific subtype are treated as canary devices).

Subtype

Only features placed with a subtype of Canary will be treated as canary devices.

1. Add the RXCANARY model name to a field model name domain (e.g., Responder Field Model Names).
2. Add the RXCANARY model name to a class model name domain (e.g., Responder Object Class Model Names).
3. Create a subtype on the feature class that may act as a canary device. This subtype will represent canary devices.
4. Open Miner.Responder.PredictionServices.exe.config. By default, this file is installed here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Miner and Miner\Responder\Server.
5. Look for the following XML and set the value to the name of the subtype you created in step 3.

   	Copy Code
   <add key ="CanarySubtypeName" value ="Canary" />

6. Save and close Miner.Responder.PredictionServices.exe.config.
7. In ArcCatalog, right-click the feature class that may act as canary devices (e.g., MiscNetworkFeature) and select ArcFM Solution Properties Manager.
8. Select the Field Model Names tab and click the Subtype field.
9. Assign the RXCANARY model name to the Subtype field.
10. Select the Model Name tab.
11. Assign the RXCANARY model name to the feature class.
12. Click OK to save changes and dismiss the ArcFM Properties Manager.

Feature Class

Every feature placed from this feature class will be treated like a canary device.

1. In ArcCatalog, add the RXCANARY model name to a class model name domain (e.g., Responder Object Class Model Names).
2. Right-click the feature class that may act as canary devices (e.g., MiscNetworkFeature) and select ArcFM Solution Properties Manager.
3. Select the Model Name tab.
4. Assign the RXCANARY model name to the feature class.
5. Click OK to save changes and dismiss the ArcFM Properties Manager.
