Create (Trace Configurations)

URL:: https://<root>/<serviceName>/TraceNetworkServer/traceConfigurations/create
Methods:: POST
Required Capability:: Requires the ArcGIS Advanced Editing user type extension license
Version Introduced:: 10.9

Description

The create operation on the traceConfigurations resource provides the ability to create a single named trace configuration. Named trace configurations store the properties of a complex trace in a trace network and can be shared through a map service consumed by a web map or field app. Multiple parameters and properties are provided with the create operation that support the analytic workflows associated with the trace operation.

Request parameters

Parameter Details

Parameter	Details
`f`	Specifies the output format of the response. The default response format is `html`. Values: `html` \| `json` \| `pjson`
`name` (Required)	Specifies the name of the named trace configuration. Syntax: `name=<string>`
`description` (Optional)	Specifies the description of the named trace configuration. Syntax: `description=<string>`
`traceType` (Required)	The `traceType` specifies the core algorithm that will be used to analyze the network. Trace types can be configured using the `traceConfiguration` parameter. Values: `connected` \| `upstream` \| `downstream` \| `shortestPath` Syntax: `traceType=<traceType>` Example: `traceType=shortestPath`
`traceConfiguration` (Required)	Specifies the collection of trace configuration properties. To reference the collection of trace configuration properties, see traceConfiguration properties. Syntax: `traceConfiguration=<traceConfiguration>`
`resultTypes` (Optional)	Specifies the types of results to return. Syntax: Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 [ { "type" : "elements" \| "aggregatedGeometry", "includeGeometry" : true \| false, "includePropagatedValues": true \| false, "networkAttributeNames" :["attribute1Name","attribute2Name",...], "diagramTemplateName": <value>, "resultTypeFields":[{"networkSourceId":<long>,"fieldname":<value>},...] },... ]`
`tags` (Optional)	Specifies user-provided tags as an array of strings. Syntax: tags=[<string>]

f

Specifies the output format of the response. The default response format is html.

Values: html | json | pjson

name

(Required)

Specifies the name of the named trace configuration.

Syntax: name=<string>

description

(Optional)

Specifies the description of the named trace configuration.

Syntax: description=<string>

traceType

traceConfiguration

(Required)

Specifies the collection of trace configuration properties.

To reference the collection of trace configuration properties, see traceConfiguration properties.

Syntax: traceConfiguration=<traceConfiguration>

resultTypes

(Optional)

Specifies the types of results to return.

Syntax:

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy

  },...
]

tags

(Optional)

Specifies user-provided tags as an array of strings.

Syntax: tags=[<string>]
