I am trying to do some raster processing in python.

I got this problem myself, tried everything except numpy, and it dident work.

What did solve it was to not use the arcpy.Rename_management() function on an input dateset.

So, it seems like the arcpy.Rename_management() function might create some memory/ scratch workspace errors that causes this problem. Not sure why, but this might hep someone later.

I solved it by simply re-allocated the variable instead of renaming it...

MarcusBrown

Hi, just wanted to mention that this solved my problem. I was trying to save to file-based format, received the error 010240, truncated my output name and it worked like a charm.

curtvprice

Errors like this are notoriously difficult to track. Pathname or workspace issues (esp with Esri grids) are common, but also if the raster can't be saved because its content is invalid or corrupted is another (sounds like both of you ran into the second type of issue). The move at 10.5 to save temporary rasters to .tif format may help make these opaque error messages on saves less common. We can always hope.

JuanOrozco

I had the exact same problem but the issue was not the path it was the raster i was trying to save. I switched it to a dummy raster that i know is fine and it worked. Having realized this i went back to check my Con() statement, found something suspicious, modified it and then i was able to save the raster.

NeilAyres

A bit of feedback on this.

So, reported this error to esri-SouthAfrica and it was forwarded to Redlands.

Did get a response and some ideas to check, similar to the suggestions here.

And, of course they wanted the tool and some data to try and replicate the problem, fair enough.

So, I started to rebuild my tool from the ground up, slowly adding bits from the original.

Guess what....

It worked, no more error 010240.....

One of those great mysteries in life I suppose. A problem that I was battling with for 3 days or so, just disappeared.

So, if in doubt, start again....

Thanks to all for your input here.

'a' is an array from a raster where -99 is the nodata value

'b' is the masked array representing 'a' with the mask (this can be done in one step when reading rasters using RasterToNumPyArray)

'c' is a simple query asking where b0 is greater than 5 units... making it a boolean mask array

'd' is the raster where the values are greater than 5, in this case assigning 0 to values < 5, but you can assign no data.

of course, this can be greatly simplified into a one liner which simply queries and assigns and returns the array you want. The next step if you are done is to NumPyToRaster array back to ArcLand if you want to see it and don't want to use MatPlotLib for viewing

Thanks Dan...

Was looking at my elevation data after RasterToNumPy, was wondering how to filter out the areas of NoData and how to "cut" it into above and below at a certain elevation. Then of course counts of valid "cells" and summing.

attached twos.tif and fours.tif you can produce 3 if you want

There is no need to save anything if you don't need to until the 'math' is all done. As for all the other file fluff, none is created but the aux and dbf etc are there if needed

This is weird. ifthe_ras is a temporary raster dataset. When you are doing arcpy map algebra often execution is delayed until it is needed (in this case, when you ran the raster to polygon tool).

What are the current settings of env.workspace and env.scratchWorkspace?

Just sayin, you could find the area using the ZonalGeometryAsTable too, but I think that would also generate the error.

NeilAyres

Changed my worflow slightly, but still hitting the same brick wall.

I slice the elevation raster at a certain level, into above / below.

Then try and save each raster object to a polygon so i can get the area of each.

The tool fails at the RasterToPolygon step.

This message seems to indicate that the temporary raster object is trying to be saved into the default fgdb.

But no go, same as before.

Is this a bug or something?

Thanks Curtis,

I'll do some more faffing the morning....

This tool has become a bit of a headache. One thing after another. Phew.

Thanks again for your advice.

Arcpy Map Algebra and Esri raster tools often save intermediate rasters to a folder (sometimes in grid format and sometimes [esp in more recent ArcGIS versions] in .tif format). This means that you really are better off sticking with grid-filename-safe temp names. My experience is that file based rasters perform better for processing than file GDB, so part of my advice of setting env.scratchWorkspace = env.workspace is to have that location be a filesystem folder workspace, not a gdb workspace. Saving to file gdb is fine for a final raster is just fine, but when doing the processing I recommend sticking to using folder workspaces.

I really should write a book.

ChrisSmith7

So, it sounds like it's not a length issue since it's in a fgdb (and your first example works). It doesn't seem like a perms issue since you're specifying your scratch enviro (and your first example works), and, as you're appending a datestamp, it doesn't seem likely that you're trying to overwrite a file with same name.

I'm guessing you've already made sure you have space and aren't experiencing memory issues... Have you tried saving as a .tif or another directory just to see if anything changes? We might need to see more of the script, if you can give it, to see if there's something else at play.
