most wonderful time of the year is once again upon us.\u00a0 That&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s ArcGIS Pro release time!\u00a0 In keeping with that tradition, the team behind the utility network has been hard at work to introduce a host of new functionality and improvements.\u00a0 With this release, a new version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-utility-network\/overview\">ArcGIS Utility Network<\/a> is also making its debut&#8211;<a

5<\/a>.\u00a0 As we step through the list below, keep in mind that most changes are specific to utility networks that are created or upgraded to version 5.<\/p>\n<p>Note that with the release of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 in Q2 2021, you will also have the ability to create or upgrade to version 5 of the utility network in an enterprise geodatabase.\u00a0 If you can&#8217;t wait until then to unwrap your presents, you can play with most of the new functionality right now in ArcGIS Pro 2.7 with a utility network in a file geodatabase.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h2><strong>Create and upgrade a utility network &#8211; Enterprise geodatabases<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Staying on the topic of creation and upgrade,\u00a0 let&#8217;s kick this off by taking a look at changes to how the version of a utility network is determined during the creation and upgrade process.<\/p>\n<p>In previous releases, the utility network version that is created or upgraded was determined solely on the ArcGIS Pro version.\u00a0 Beginning with ArcGIS Pro 2.7, the version of ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise determines the <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.arcgis.com\/en\/pro-app\/2.7\/help\/data\/utility-network\/utility-network-dataset-administration.htm#ESRI_SECTION2_9B8CAB94A3524F7EBD4D317FC6B0A31E\">utility network version<\/a>\u00a0of the utility network dataset that is created or upgraded when working with an enterprise geodatabase.<\/p>\n<p>What this means is that the version of the federated server for your portal now determines the utility network version created when using the Create Utility Network or Upgrade Dataset tools.\u00a0 This ensures that the version of the utility network is always compatible with the current version of ArcGIS Server.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you that have a multi-machine deployment with various versions of ArcGIS Server installed, we check all federated servers and create or upgrade to the utility network version that is compatible with the highest release available.\u00a0 For example, someone creating a utility network using an ArcGIS Pro 2.7 client connected to a deployment where the highest ArcGIS Enterprise release was 10.8.1 would create a version 4 utility network.\u00a0 If the highest release was 10.7, this would create a version 3 utility network.\u00a0 With the release of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9, you will be able to create a version 5 utility
