Remove Empty Feature Class From Geometric Network (Data Management)
Summary
Removes an empty feature class from a geometric network.
Usage
-
Only empty feature classes can be removed; populated feature classes cannot be removed. Within an enterprise geodatabase, this may require the Compress tool to be run in order for the feature class to be recognized as empty.
-
This tool will not delete the feature class; it will only remove it from the network. You must delete the feature class if needed.
-
In an enterprise geodatabase, the feature class being removed and the geometric network may be versioned.
-
You cannot remove the orphan junction feature class from a geometric network.
-
A feature class cannot be removed from the geometric network if, besides the orphan junction feature class, it is the sole feature class in the network.
Syntax
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_geometric_network |

in_feature_class |
The name of the feature class to remove. | String |
Code Sample
The following stand-alone Python script demonstrates how to use the RemoveFeatureClassFromGeometricNetwork tool to remove an empty feature class called "Tanks" from a geometric network.
# Import arcpy module
import arcpy
# Local variables:
Water_Net = "C:/GeometricNetworks/Montgomery.gdb/Water/Water_Net"
# Process: Remove Feature Class From Geometric Network
arcpy.RemoveEmptyFeatureClassFromGeometricNetwork_management(Water_Net, "Tanks")
