Error Opening Batch File(s). There was an error reading the batch file(s):

ScottLampley — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:39:31 GMT

I am trying to open / view / edit a batch job file (.rbj) and get the following error:

Error Opening Batch File(s). There was an error reading the batch file(s):

The check will run but i cannot open it for editing...
The file in question is checking for a variety of geometry issues

This seems to have started after I upgraded from 10 to 10.1.

any ideas?

Hi Scott,

Can you please try to save that batch job with a different name and then try editing the checks and adding the data using the newly created batch job in ArcMap?
I just want to make sure that the existing batch job file is not corrupted. Also would it be possible for you to share the batch job file for testing.

Thanks,
Kumar

I am experimenting the same error and again it didn't help me installing my ArcGIS 10.1 Data Reviewer SP1 and its Patch 6.

I tried also to save it in another file and give it another name but still it is giving the same error.

The file is in a proper Enterprise Environment and the risk of corruption is not maximal.

Please help me on this.

What version was the batch job created in? What version are you opening it up in? What kind of checks are in there?

I've not heard of issues with creating and reopening the Reviewer Batch jobs in version 10.2.2.

Basic steps for creating a batch job:

Add the data you want to validate in ArcMap.
Open Reviewer Batch Job Manager
Create a New Group
Add a check
Configure the check
Save the batch job
In Batch Validate, open the batch job
Click on Validate All
Run the batch job.

What's the exact error message you are receiving when you try to open the batch job? Which dialog are you opening it up in? Batch Job Manager or Batch Validate?

What ArcGIS build number do you have? What Data Reviewer build number do you have?

it is 10.2.2 for both , how can i get it

Use the link in my previous reply. It is to the PatchFinder utility.

The image just shows me you have ArcGIS Desktop 10.2.2, but does not tell me Data Reviewer version. If you do not want to use the PatchFinder, then you can go to Customize>Extensions and click on Data Reviewer.

Thanks. I know people have upgraded ArcGIS Desktop not knowing that it does not upgrade DR.

Have you tried applying the DR 10.2.2 patch?

ArcGIS Data Reviewer 10.2.2 Patch 2 for (Desktop, Server) | Samples and Utilities

Or the other thing I would try is to uninstall Data Reviewer and Reinstall.

Is it a new patch ?because the file we installed is the latest given to us from ESRI Australia last month .

Re: Error Opening Batch File(s). There was an error reading the batch file(s):

MichelleJohnson — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 23:41:07 GMT

That PatchFinder did not list the patch. It should have if it was installed.

The patch I pointed you to was released Feb 6, 2014. It's Data Reviewer 10.2.2 patch 2.

Here's a screenshot of patch finder on my desktop computer.

I will install it and tell you thanks

I hope it works. If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling. I have 10.2.2 and 10.3.1 and have not had any issues creating and using my batch jobs. If you don't get it working after the reinstall, follow up with tech support again.

Good Luck!
