System Switch State

Available in ArcMap.

This field allows you to determine how ArcFM electric and Responder tracing is performed. There are two options in this field: Normal and Actual.

Normal: Electric tracing is performed using MMElectricTraceWeight values. This is how tracing is executed in ArcFM (without Responder).

Actual: The present statuses of devices are stored in the RX_INCIDENT_DEVICES table in the Actual_Status field. This table stores only devices and/or conductors currently in an abnormal state. So, if Actual is selected in the System Switch State field, Electric Tracing will honor the state of any device in the trace that has a row in the RX_INCIDENT_DEVICES table and a value in the Actual_Status field. If the feature does not have a row in this table, Electric Tracing uses MMElectricTraceWeight.

When Actual is selected the trace looks at the Actual Status of all devices regardless of their status (confirmed, probable or unconfirmed).
