After starting VertiGIS Solution Manager, the deployment of a Network Explorer solution can be carried out.

Prerequisites

For the installation you need the ZIP file (Network Explorer-<Version>.zip) of the Network Explorer Solution Package, which will be provided to you by your local sales representative.

This ZIP file contains all the necessary components that are part of the functional scope of the Network Explorer Solution Package (e.g. print templates).

The utility network data must be published as a feature service.

Requirements for the WebMap

The following requirements for the WebMap must be taken into account during installation:

•The WebMap to be used must be published from ArcGIS Pro.

•CIM symbols should not be used.
When publishing a WebMap from ArcGIS Pro, it is important to select the option"Use symbol types compatible with all clients". Otherwise, CIM symbols are generated in the WebMap, which are not fully supported in the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript.

Procedure

1.Launch VertiGIS Solution Manager
The Solution Manager is startedvia a link.
See the VertiGIS Solution Manager user manual, chapter Start Solution Manager.

If you are using Solution Manager for the first time with a Portal forArcGIS, you need to change the registration information of the VertiGIS Studio Printing item (seethe VertiGIS Studio manual Register VertiGIS Studio Printing Using a NewArcGIS Item). In the "Registered Info" section you need to add the followingRedirect URI "https://<SUBDOMAIN>.apps.vertigisstudio.com" and click"Add". The aforementioned setting is sufficient for users with "administratorrights".
 
If users with the "Publisher" portal permission should alsoexecute the installation of the Network Solution, they must additionally be assigned to a groupthat in turn has access to the above-mentioned portal item. This setting can be assigned via"Edit Group Sharing" for this portal item VertiGIS Studio Printing.
 
Otherwise,the Solution cannot be installed because Solution Manager needs these permissions to provide printtemplates.

2.Prepare data sources
See the VertiGIS Solution Manager user manual,chapter Manage Data Sources.
 

3.Perform Deployment
See the VertiGIS Solution Manager user manual,chapter Perform Deployment.

Individual configuration is required for Queries and Network Diagramfunctions, as well as for the various network trace configurations.
 
In step 1 Packages> 2. Select data source, you can use the "Load" button to load this configurationpackage Network Explorer Blank Configurations as a ZIP file (e.g. from the download folder).
 
The Network Explorer BlankConfigurations Package is available from VertiGIS Support.

▪Attributes Form Schema Portal ItemID - Input of the GUID of the portal item, which contains the project-related schema forthe attribute mask.

The "Attribute Form Schema Portal Item ID" parameter is optional.If the field is left empty, the attributes are displayed by default according to the definition inthe feature service. The GUID could then also be entered subsequently via the Studio Web Designer.See also chapter "Edit Attributes" > developerdocumentation.

The VertiGIS Studio Web Designer must be usedto customize the project-specific web map. See chapter Configuration > NetworkSolutions in General.

After installation, an adjustment tothe project-specific map basis MUST be made. To do this, first select the generated WebApp in theStudio Web Designer. Then select the "Map component", go to the "Map settings"section and click on the "Refresh" button. This ensures that the project-specific mapbasis is correctly integrated into the WebApp.
