Presence-only Prediction (MaxEnt) Error 110202

Question

I encountered an issue in ArcGIS Pro 3.4 while running the Presence-only Prediction (MaxEnt) geoprocessing tool, which failed to execute, returning the error: Error 110202: Problem parsing Explanatory Raster datasets. This error seems to only occur when I run the tool with background points. Without background points included, the tool runs just fine. I have ensured that my explanatory rasters have matching extents, coordinate systems, and resolutions and no NoData values are present.  What could be causing this error?

Hi all, I was getting the same Error: 110202 when running MaxEnt on 3.4.0. I just updated Pro to 3.4.3 and the tool completed without the error.

Edit: Nevermind - it decided to start failing on me again with the same error message. I haven't changed the data or settings.

Hi everyone, in my experience I saw that this problem depends on the 3.4 update. In fact, with ArcGis Pro 3.3 "Presence-only Prediction" works without problems while it gives the error 110202 with 3.4.

Hi @DanielFox1, thank you for your suggestions! I've ensured that the extents, coordinate systems, and resolutions are all aligned and there are no NoData values in the rasters.

The Presence-Only Prediction tool works without background points. For my purposes, I would like to have background points included because I have verified specific locations as background points within my data. Is there a way to work around this issue?
