10.1 Geoprocessing background progress - cannot see bar at all

HarryBowman

Nothing is showing up at all where I'd expect to see progress indicated in ArcMap. The process runs and I get a little pop up notice when it is complete, as before. I cannot see anything where I was expecting to see a "scrolling progress" before. The help system makes it looks like I should see something (the screen shot shows a progress bar, not the marquee style from before). Background processing is enabled. Do I need to do something else to make this visible? The process is running (I looked in Task Manager) but there is no indication in the ArcMap UI.

Update: Correc this to be "sometimes" cannot see bar at all. Sometimes the scrolling marquee is there, sometimes not.

If you have 5 minutes to do a couple tests, could you:

-enable Background (you should already have it enabled)
-shut down and re-open ArcMap/Catalog
-run a tool (do you get dialog?)
-run a 2nd, different tool (do you get dialog?)

-shut down and re-open
-go to Geoprocessing Options > make sure BG is enabled (it should already be), press OK on the dialog (make sure to press OK)
-if you're watching you should see marquee of "Background starting" (correct?)
-run a tool (do you get dialog?)
-run a 2nd, different tool (do you get dialog?)

OK, Since posting I have been seeing a mix of appearing and not appearing, but I have had to use the software on the only machine on which we have 10.1 installed, so there has not been a lot of time for experiments.

1. It seems the first time I run the ArcMap and run a tool, the Marquee does not appear - nothing shows.
2. When I turned off background processing, closed ArcMap, opened ArcMap, turned on background processing - the Marquee showed.

I can experiment later - my gut tells me it has something to do with the first time the BG processing is running in a given ArcMap session - unless you mess with the option checkbox?

No percentage complete - I guess that is by design now?

KevinHibma

Thanks, Harry.

I've had a few reports and they all seem different. Its hard to narrow down when/why the bar may not show up. I'm still working on it and if we can identify the cause, we'll fix it.

As for % - right, 10.1 we only show whats running. However, now you can click the bar to get you right into the Results window and the tool thats executing.
Quite honestly not all tools report status in the same way (overall % left, % left on a certain step, no %, etc). We have worked on that and are continuing to get tools to report status better as well as respond better to cancel.

Khibma:

Consistently, the first GP tool run in the background for a given ArcMap session doesn't show in the Marquee (something blue flashes there for a second but it's too fast for me to read, then nothing).
New Mxd:
- ran tool: no marquee
- ran tool: marquee

save mxd, close ArcMap, open mxd
- ran tool: no marquee
- ran tool: marquee

At least it seems to me that the first time the background GP is started in ArcMap, the marquee doesn't work properly. New MxD, old MxD, doesn't matter.

KevinHibma

thanks Harry.

thats good info. I'll see if we can't do something in SP2 for this.

HarryBowman

Cool, Thanks.
For what it's worth, I tried not to blink and caught part of what was flashing in the marquee "ing Back" I think.

My guess: "Starting Background Processing" 🙂
But I havent seen a machine where it's taken so long that the whole message has time to scroll.

Hi,
I have also installed the 64bit geoprocessing package.

Now I have troubles to run geoprocessing tools with SDE featureclasses.
I want to intersect a sde featureclass with a featureclass from a FGDB.
I allways get the message Error 000229: Cannot open Featureclass.

Ihave added the featureclass to arcmap, all features are visible, and i can get infos etc.
I can start editing for the featureclass.

Anybody same problems???

Thanks for help
Astrid

PS: IF I turn off background processing then all is running and I can make intersects

KevinHibma

My guess is you're missing the 64bit client libraries required to connect to your enterprise database.

See the section: Desktop, Workgroup and Enterprise geodatabases

Hi,
now I have my Testmaschine and tried to install arcGIS 10.1 with background processing there.
I have downloaded a client liebary from oracle and tried to install (win64_11gR2_client)

Our System is Windows 7 64bit, Oracle SDE 9.3.1 and on Maschine 32bit client for oracle installed (standard)

Now I have installed the client libaries for the 64bit client as you told me. Afterwards I cannot connect to the oracle SDE because of an Error.
"Failed to connect to database.
Underlying DBMS error [ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
No extended error"

Do you know whats going wrong in this case or can you help me. Which client from oracle do I have to install for the 64bit support.

Thanks Astrid

KevinHibma

I'm not an expert with oracle, so this is just a guess.
As you know, you need to setup both the 32 and 64bit client libraries on the Desktop machine. 64-bit Background uses the 64-bit libraries and 32-bit Desktop uses the 32-bit libraries. I've copied the 64-bit Oracle instant client files into a 64bit location (Program Files) and the 32-bit Oracle client files into a 32bit location (Program Files(x86)).

Inside my system path environment variable I have the reference to the instant client like this:

C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\instantclient;C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\instantclient_11_2

Its very important the 64-bit comes before the 32-bit. When the 32-bit app tries to use the instantclient, it will find the 64-bit first, then fail over to the 32-bit. (or at least thats how I understand it works).
Hopefully this helps.

UPDATE: To use both 32/64bit Oracle client, see the following help topic: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//002n00000038000000
Pay special attention to step 1d)

Hi Kevin,
I have downloaded both the 64bit and 32bit files from oracle, these two files have a setup and installed in an app directory.
Which Files did you copy in your instantclient directories. Are these the files in BIN dierectory or do I need more then these.

Thanks Astrid

Astrid,

Heres a screen shot of my 32bit instantclient directory for comparison purposes:
