| Boolean |
condition_barriers [[Name, Operator, Type, Value, Combine Using],...] (Optional) | Sets a traversability barrier condition on features based on a comparison to a network attribute or check for a category string. A condition barrier uses a network attribute or network category, an operator and a type, and an attribute value. For example, stop a trace when a feature has the Device Status attribute equal to the specific value of Open. When a feature meets this condition, the trace stops. If you're using more than one attribute, you can use the Combine using parameter to define an And or an Or condition.

- INCLUDES_ANY—A bitwise AND operation in which at least one bit in the value is present in the attribute (bitwise AND == True).
- DOES_NOT_INCLUDE_ANY—A bitwise AND operation in which none of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == False).

function_barriers [[Function, Attribute, Operator, Value, Use Local Values],...] (Optional) | Sets a traversability barrier on features based on a function. Function barriers can be used to do such things as restrict how far the trace travels from the starting point, or set a maximum value to stop a trace. For example, the length of each line traveled is added to the total distance traveled so far. When the total length traveled reaches the value specified, the trace stops. Function barrier components are as follows: - Function—Choose from a number of different calculation functions.
- Attribute—Filter by any network attribute defined in the system.
- Operator—Choose from a number of different operators.
- Value—Provide a specific value for the input attribute type that, if discovered, will cause the termination.
- Use Local Values—Calculate values in each direction as opposed to an overall global value. For example, a function barrier that is calculating the sum of Shape length in which the trace terminates if the value is greater than or equal to 4. In the global case, after you traverse two edges with a value of 2, you will have reached a shape length sum of 4, so the trace stops. If local values are used, the local values along each path change, and the trace continues.
The function barrier Function value options are as follows: - AVERAGE—The average of the input values will be used.
- COUNT—The number of features will be used.
- MAX—The maximum of the input values will be used.
- MIN—The minimum of the input values will be used.
- ADD—The sum of the values will be used.
- SUBTRACT—The difference between the values will be used. Subnetwork controllers and loops trace types do not support the subtract function.
The function barrier Operator value options are as follows: - IS_EQUAL_TO—The attribute is equal to the value.
- DOES_NOT_EQUAL—The attribute is not equal to the value.
- IS_GREATER_THAN—The attribute is greater than the value.
- IS_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO—The attribute is greater than or equal to the value.
- IS_LESS_THAN—The attribute is less than the value.
- IS_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO—The attribute is less than or equal to the value.
- INCLUDES_THE_VALUES—A bitwise AND operation in which all bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == value).
- DOES_NOT_INCLUDE_THE_VALUES—A bitwise AND operation in which not all of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND != value).
- INCLUDES_ANY—A bitwise AND operation in which at least one bit in the value is present in the attribute (bitwise AND == True).

- FALSE—Global values will be used. This is the default.
| Value Table |
traversability_scope (Optional) | The type of traversability that will be applied. Traversability scope determines whether traversability is applied at junctions, edges, or both. For example, if a condition barrier is defined to stop the trace if Device Status is equal to Open and traversability scope is set to edges only, even if the trace encounters an open device, the trace will not stop because Device Status is only applicable to junctions. In other words, this parameter indicates to the trace whether to ignore junctions, edges, or both. - BOTH_JUNCTIONS_AND_EDGES—Traversability will be applied to both junctions and edges. This is the default.
- JUNCTIONS_ONLY—Traversability will be applied to junctions only.
- EDGES_ONLY—Traversability will be applied to edges only.
| String |
filter_barriers [[Name, Operator, Type, Value, Combine Using],...] (Optional) | Specifies when a trace will
stop for a specific category or network attribute. For example, stop a trace at features that have a life cycle
status attribute that is equal to a certain value. This parameter
is used to set a terminator based on a value of a network attribute
that is defined in the system. If using more than one attribute, you can
use the Combine Using option to define an And or an Or condition.

| String |
filter_bitset_network_attribute_name (Optional) | The name of the network attribute that will be used to filter by bitset. This parameter is only applicable to upstream, downstream, and loops trace types. This parameter can be used to add special logic during a trace so the trace more closely reflects real-world scenarios. For example, for a loops trace, the Phases current network attribute can determine if the loop is a true electrical loop (the same phase is energized all around the loop, that is, A) and return only real electrical loops for the trace results. An example for an upstream trace is when tracing an electric distribution network, specify a Phases current network attribute, and the trace results will only include valid paths that are specified in the network attribute, not all paths. | String |

propagators [[Attribute, Substitution Attribute, Function, Operator, Value],...] (Optional) |
Specifies the network attributes to propagate as well as how that propagation will occur during a trace.
Propagated class attributes denote the key values on subnetwork controllers that are disseminated to the rest of the features in the subnetwork. For example, in an electric distribution model, you can propagate the phase value. Propagators components are as follows: - Attribute—Filter by any network attribute defined in the system.
- Substitution Attribute—Use a substituted value instead of bitset network attribute values. Substitutions are encoded based on the number of bits in the network attribute being propagated. A substitution is a mapping of each bit in phase to another bit. For example, for Phase AC, one substitution could map bit A to B, and bit C to null. In this example, the substitution for 1010 (Phase AC) is 0000-0010-0000-0000 (512). The substitution captures the mapping so you know that Phase A was mapped to B and Phase C was mapped to null, and not the other way around (that is, Phase A was not mapped to null and Phase C was not mapped to B).

- IS_LESS_THAN—The attribute is less than the value.
- IS_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO—The attribute is less than or equal to the value.
- INCLUDES_THE_VALUES—A bitwise AND operation in which all bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == value).
- DOES_NOT_INCLUDE_THE_VALUES—A bitwise AND operation in which not all of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND != value).
- INCLUDES_ANY—A bitwise AND operation in which at least one bit in the value is present in the attribute (bitwise AND == True).
- DOES_NOT_INCLUDE_ANY—A bitwise AND operation in which none of the bits in the value are present in the attribute (bitwise AND == False).

as shape length. Cost- and distance-based paths can both be
achieved. This parameter is required when running a shortest path
trace. | String |
