Dan, I am trying to calculate the job accessibility based on distance from the centroid of census tracts. By doing intersect, I can be able to calculate the proportion of the census tracts. Thanks, Tom ... View more

Sol, yeah that is a lot of buffers....roughly 11k buffers for the study area. I have tried different ways but still couldn't fix the issue. My next step is to contact the ESRI support team to see if they have any solutions... Do you know a link where i can open the ticket? Thanks, Tom ... View more

Sephe, Yup, there are lots of buffers! That is just a portion of it..haha. I already checked those links that Sol posted. It is all about Repair Geometry and computer requirements. I believe the server I am using is satisfied with the software requirement. I performed Repair Geometry once but the error still exists. ... View more

Rakesh, I checked my number of vertices; both of my layer have the the MAX of VERTICES less than 2 million. I don't think this is the case. The short term solution is to reduce the size of the dataset. As in the picture below, there are many overlapping areas created by the buffers. Maybe the output's data size is too large that the software could not handle...that could also be one of the reasons. ... View more

I tried the 'Repair Geometry' tool but the error still exists. However, i reduced the size of the dataset, it did not give me any error messages. At this point, I feel it is giving me error message is because my data is exceed that '2 million vertices'. I will go ahead and check out 'Dicing Godzillas' for any solutions.. Thanks, Tom ...

Thanks. Will try and post my results here. By the way, should i put all my working feature datasets into gdb? ... View more

Sephe and Sol, thank you both for your suggestions. I am running ArcGIS on a server that has 32gb of RAM. I will repair my geometry and shorten my file path name. It's just weird to me that the same process worked for 1 mile buffer. ... View more

Worked: 1) scag_2010_blockgroups (239 records) 2) scag_2010_blockgroups_3mi_bffr_IM (239 records) Did not work: 1) scag_2010_blockgroups (5697 records) 2) scag_2010_blockgroups_3mi_bffr_LA (5679 records) At this moment, I am 75% confident that the cause of intersect failure is the size of my shapefile... ...

Sephe, Thanks for the info. This spatial analysis worked with 1 mile buffer but, for some reasons, it does not work for 3 mile buffer. I've tried to save the output in GDB as well but the problem still exists. Interestingly, I performed a same procedure (intersect) for a different area with less records and it worked. I am thinking it is because I have too many records after intersecting the two layers? This may be the case.. ... View more
