This window contains the following elements:
  • The Show Transactions From field — By entering a date at the top of the window (in the format MM/DD/YYYY) and clicking the icon, all uncommitted transactions as well as those committed since the entered date will be displayed in the Macro Transactions pane. When no date is entered, only uncommitted transactions are retrieved.
  • Macro Transactions pane
  • Transaction Input pane

Macro Transactions Pane

When the Network Transactions window is first displayed, the Macro Transactions pane at the top of the window shows all uncommitted transactions. If a date is entered in the Show Transactions From field, then all committed transactions since the entered date are also shown (along with all uncommitted transactions). To see earlier committed transactions, change the date to a date earlier than the desired date of the committed transaction and then click the icon.
In the Macro Transactions pane, you enter and define new transactions. You may also edit uncommitted transactions. (An uncommitted transaction is one where the Status field is not checked and consequently has no processed date.) After creating a new transaction or editing an uncommitted transaction, you may then commit the transaction, which applies the results of the transaction throughout the database and GIS map.

Right-click Shortcut Menu Commands

When you right-click a transaction in the table, a shortcut menu is displayed. This menu contains the following special commands along with the common commands:

  • Check Transaction: This command verifies that the selected transaction is properly configured and will run without error.
  • Commit Transaction: This command commits the selected transaction, applying the result of the transaction throughout the database and the GIS map. Once the transaction is committed, the system places a check mark in the transaction's Status column and displays the processed date in the transaction's Date Processed column.

  • Commit Transaction for All Selected: This command commits the selected transactions in the order specified by the values in the Order column, applying the results of the transactions throughout the database and the GIS map. Once the transactions are committed, the system places a check mark in each transaction's Status column and displays the processed date in each transaction's Date Processed column.

    Note: You must have sequencing values in the Order column to use this command.

  • Decompose Macro Transaction: After selecting this command, the system displays a new window that shows the ordered series of basic transactions that compose the transaction you right-clicked. The transaction's input parameters are applied to these basic transactions as appropriate.

    Note: Internally, the system operates using basic transactions. The Decompose Macro Transaction command is primarily used as a communications tool to convey how it operates internally. This is important, for example, during import routine development with a third-party system that controls the network. The eight basic transactions are described in the Interface Design document for the third-party system.

Transaction Input Pane


For the transaction and transaction type currently selected in the upper Macro Transactions pane, the Transaction Input pane at the bottom of the window displays the transaction inputs for the transaction type and allows you to enter the parameters for the transaction inputs. The transaction inputs vary depending upon transaction type.

Note: Several transactions not only adjust location reference but also work directly on attribute data records, splitting one record into two. This "split" capability is needed as it is the only way for data that spans a transaction mile point (that is, the attribute data's "from" point and "to" point are on either side of the transaction mile point) can be assigned to each of the two routes that are the result of the transaction.

The transactions listed below use the "split" capability:

  • Any re-alignment network transaction.
  • Any re-name network transaction.
  • Any retire network transaction.

Descriptions of Network Transactions


The following table describes the function of each network transaction. For information on what inputs are required by each transaction, see Inputs for All Network Transactions.

Transaction Type

Description

Add a route.

This transaction adds a new route to the network.

Add second route to end of route.

This transaction combines two routes into one route with the second route's length added to the first route's length.

Add second route to start of route.

This transaction combines two routes into one route from the beginning of the first route, with an optional start offset. (The offset increases the length of the first route.)

Create a gap in the route.

This transaction creates a gap in a route. The length of the route is not affected. (Once the gap is created, the system stores the details in the Network Gaps table.)

Create a new dom/sub record (opposite direction).

This transaction creates a new dominant/subordinate relationship between two routes where the two routes are measured in opposite directions.

Create a new dom/sub record (same direction).

This transaction creates a new dominant/subordinate relationship between two routes where the two routes are measured in the same direction.

Delete dom/sub record.

This transaction severs the existing dominate/subordinate relationship between two routes between two user-entered mile points.

Delete gap at a mile point.

This transaction deletes a gap from a route. The length of the route is not affected.

Extend the route at the beginning.

This transaction extends the length of a route before the beginning of the route and assigns a new beginning measure.

Extend the route at the end.

This transaction extends the length of a route from the end of the route.

Re-align with re-naming of old roadbed.

This transaction creates a new road section within an existing route and gives the old section a new name.

Re-align with retirement.

This transaction creates a new road section within an existing route and deletes the old section from the network.

Re-name a route.

This transaction gives the route a new name.

Re-name the beginning of a route.

This transaction splits an existing route into two routes, with the beginning route given a new route name.

Re-name the end of the route.

This transaction splits an existing route into two routes, with the end route given a new route name.

Re-calibrate a portion of the route.

This transaction extends or contracts the end of a route (based on entered values) and assigns new measurement values to the entire length of the route.

Retire a route.

This transaction removes a route from the network and deletes all data associated with the route.

Retire the end of a route.

This transaction removes a portion of a route from the end of the route. Any data associated with the removed portion is deleted from the system.

Retire the start of a route.

This transaction removes a portion of a route from the beginning of the route. Any data associated with the removed portion is deleted from the system. (The measurement values of the route are not changed.)

Reverse a route.

This transaction reverses the measurement values for a route (that is, the current beginning becomes the new end). The length of the route is not affected.

Shift a route.

This transaction assigns new measurement values to a route. The length of the route is not affected.

Trade dominancy.

This transaction inverts an existing dom/sub relationship for all or part of a route so the formerly dominant route becomes the subordinate route and the formerly subordinate route becomes the dominant route.
