Load Data

This solution deploys with the SewerSystem feature layer from the Sewer Data Management solution. If you are utilizing the Sewer Manhole Inspections solution independently from the Sewer Data Management solution, you will need to load data into the Manhole layer.

Use the Data Loading Tools

The Data Loading toolbox can be used in ArcGIS Pro to streamline loading data from a source to a target dataset and provide the ability to perform in-process data transformation. Setup the Data Loading toolbox before getting started with the steps below.

  1. Open the ArcGIS Pro and click the Map template.
  2. Type a name for the new project into the Name text box.
  3. On the Project tab, click Python to access the Python Package Manager.
  4. Under Project Environment, click Manage Environments.
  5. Click Clone Default Clone to clone your default environment.
  6. Click the Active button for the new environment, and click OK.
  7. Restart ArcGIS Pro to allow your environment changes to take effect.
  8. In the Python Package Manager, click Add Packages to see the Python packages available for installation.
  9. Click Refresh Refresh to update the list of available packages.
  10. In the Search box, type dltsolutions to find the Data Loading Tools toolbox.
  11. Select the dltsolutions package and click the drop-down menu to update the version.
  12. Click Install.

    The Install Package dialog box appears.

  13. Review the terms and conditions and check the box to agree.
  14. Click Install to install the package.
  15. Once the installation is complete, close ArcGIS Pro.

    The Data Loading Tools toolbox is now installed. The next time you start ArcGIS Pro, you can access it from the geoprocessing toolboxes.

  16. Review An overview of the Data Loading toolbox to learn more about the tools and how to use them to load data into the SewerSystem feature layers.
