GPTool

public class DissolveNetwork
extends AbstractGPTool

Creates a network dataset that minimizes the number of line features required to correctly model the input network dataset. The more efficient output network dataset reduces the time required to solve analyses, draw results, and generate driving directions. This tool outputs a new network dataset and source feature classes; the input network dataset and its source features remain unchanged. The Dissolve Network tool is contained in the Network Analyst Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• This tool does not create a built network. Use the tool to build the newly created network dataset prior to performing any analysis on it.
• The network dataset and feature classes created in the output geodatabase workspace have the same feature dataset name, network dataset name, and feature class names as the input network dataset. The tool fails to execute if any datasets with these names already exist in the output geodatabase workspace.
• Only fields from the source feature class that are used by the network dataset are transferred to the output line feature class. Examples of fields include:

Constructor Detail

DissolveNetwork

public DissolveNetwork()

Creates the Dissolve Network tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.

DissolveNetwork

public DissolveNetwork(Object inNetworkDataset,
                       Object outWorkspaceLocation)

Creates the Dissolve Network tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:

inNetworkDataset - the network dataset to be dissolved. the input network dataset must be a file or personal geodatabase network dataset with exactly one edge source. Any number of junction sources and turn sources is allowed. The edge source must have: the input network dataset must be built before it can be used in this tool.

• End point connectivity policy
• An elevation policy of either None or Elevation Fields

outWorkspaceLocation - the geodatabase workspace in which to create the dissolved network dataset. The workspace must be an ArcGIS 10 geodatabase or later.
