Subtype Domain Validation and Its Critical Role in Migration

Subtype Domain Validation plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of subtype-level coded and range domains within a geodatabase. This GeoData Sentry Test Suite focuses on verifying the validity of values within domain-controlled columns at the subtype level. By automatically generating the test suite from both subtype and domain rules defined in the geodatabase, organizations can effectively assess the accuracy of their data.

Similar to Domain Validation, Subtype Domain Validation ensures that values within domain-controlled columns are valid. This test suite includes a subtype filter, making it essentially a domain test with the added layer of subtype specificity.

In the context of the Utility Network, the aggregation of multiple subtypes into line, junction, and device feature classes is a critical aspect of migration. The assignment of domains by subtype becomes crucial for successful migration. Errors related to subtype-dependent domains are likely to have a significant impact on the migration process to the Utility Network.

By conducting thorough Subtype Domain Validation, organizations can verify the validity of values within domain-controlled columns at the subtype level. This ensures data integrity, streamlines migration efforts, and supports the successful implementation of the Utility Network.
