bug? (ERROR 001170: The reduced study area polygon is too small for analysis.)

RoyceSimpson — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:48:38 GMT

I've got several mxd's that I'm publishing with all their layers off by default and get the below error. The services publish anyway but are stopped. I simply start them and they are good to go.

I would be great not to get this error though.

We ran into this same issue today. Real small mapping service. Its got about 20 GIS features (20 rows all are point geometry type) that are stored in a FDGB on a fileshare. Data is registered with the server (not copying). This is a distributed GIS Site with 2 load balanced web-adaptors, and 4 GIS servers (2 clusters with 2 servers each). Administration is disabled at the web-adaptors and we are publishing from one of the servers in the GIS site. restarting (stopping/starting) the Publishing Tools GP service did not fix it.

I've got 3 other mapping services that are all about the same size and they all worked just fine.

Anyone else with this issue??:confused:

I'm also getting the same error.

We have a 4 machine site (web adaptor, 2 gis servers and a staging server). I'm guessing this is a 10.1 bug that has to do with multiple machine clusters... there seems to be a few of them with this version of ArcServer.

Deleting the service and republishing the service seems to be a work-around.

If anyone from ESRI could chime it, it would be appreciated!

I'm getting the same error with many of my services on 10.2.

We're also running a multiple machine cluster -- two GIS servers with no Web Adaptor installed yet. I've noticed that the problem persists even if I shut down one of the servers, though.

Did anyone get a fix for this? Currently having the same problem with ArcGIS Server 10.2.

Multi-Machine deployment with 2 AGS machines and no Web Adapter.

Thanks

Hi,

I had the same problem today in a multiple machine 10.2 cluster environment...two GIS Servers and one web adaptor,

my workaround for that situation was to save the MXD with a smaller extent instead of the Full Extent and then publish the MXD ,

We ran into this bug recently, ArcGIS Server 10.1 SP1. Similar to most of the Server configurations in this thread, we do have two GIS Server machines.

We managed to get fix this by removing one of the machines from the Server Site Manager (Site->machines->hit the X button next to one of the machines). Then we simply run the publishing again, after it was succeeded, we joined the machine back to the site.

A workaround to get you up and running until Esri fix it or provide the cause of the problem.

I experienced the same error.

Resolved by changing the scale from 15mil to 24k.

DavidMuthami1 — Sat, 16 Aug 2014 13:46:35 GMT

Experienced the same error today-16th Aug. 2014

Resolved by changing data frame coordinate system from a local coordinate system (LO25) to web mercator auxilliary sphere.

Thought I would add my two cents in case anyone from ESRI looks in on this post.

Ran into this issue for the first time after publishing many other services successfully using 10.2.1

Like others, the error comes up when publishing to our production site with multiple servers. However, our development cluster also has 2 machines, and I can publish to that with no problem. Another difference is that we are publishing image services rather than map services from an MXD. Services are already in Web Mercator, so that isn't the issue.

As others have experienced, the service does eventually start up and run as expected, but some explanation of the error message would be nice. Has anyone who has submitted a ticket ever heard anything definitive?

I've had this today too. I'm running desktop 10.2.2 publishing to server 10.3, but I've been doing that all week with no issues. It would be nice to get a more meaningful error message...

Deleting the original map service and republishing worked for me.

Sarah,

I am having the same issue as you.... I'm trying to publish from desktop 10.2.1 to server 10.3 but its not even creating the service. I still get the error. It takes roughly 30 minutes just to get the error. ArcGIS Server logs do not say anything... no warnings or severe errors and we only have one machine so i am apprehensive to delete it out as mentioned above. I have created new MXDs with the scale set at 10k and that did not help either. It would be great to know if there is a solution. I think I'll log a ticket with ESRI Support.

SarahNoakes1 — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:19:09 GMT

Hi Jeremiah,

I have a call open with ESRI UK and they are discussing the issue with ESRI Inc. I'll report back when I have a resolution.

For me the error is intermittent - I can republish a map service several times and then every now and then I get the error. We have two servers in our cluster, and the configuration store is on a third separate file server. The issue seems to have something to do with ArcGIS Server not being able to get a lock on the files in the config store when it tries to delete and rename them.

Yesterday I tried removing one of the servers, and temporarily moved the config store locally to the remaining server. The issue still recurred intermittently.

I am in the process of building our Enterprise GIS Server site, and have been doing a lot of testing of various environments and software versions since months(!). This is one of the errors we come across frequently. I have strong evidence that this is a problem caused by network issues. If you have other information please share, but I would bet that nobody subscribed to this thread has had this error with a single-machine site where config-store and server-directories are stored locally on the machine that runs ArcGIS Server - unless of course you were working with tiny extents or something that would make the "reduced study area that is too small for analysis" message an accurate and true description of the problem. If you did, please share that information too, (because then I'll have to revise my hypothesis.) Thank you!

I am having this same problem when I run a Python script to create map services on ArcGIS for Server 10.2. I can manually publish a service from the same mxd on the same server. This error is causing my script to end prematurely. Has anyone found a solution? Is anyone from ESRI reading this? Thanks,

Re: bug? (ERROR 001170: The reduced study area polygon is too small for analysis.)

TobiasFimpel1 — Thu, 05 Mar 2015 18:45:40 GMT

I have seen this using 10.3 as well.

deleted-user-ugCMpXci8bn5 — Fri, 06 Mar 2015 19:02:01 GMT

I should also mention that the services created before the error is thrown appear to be on and working, but the Python script fails on the error and subsequent services are not created. Also, all of my layers are turned off by default.

BrunoMendes — Mon, 23 Mar 2015 17:33:06 GMT

I've had this issue and both config-store and server-directories are on a shared folder.

I did'nt give much attention to the problem because it starts and works as expected.

We are now using version 10.3.

I am experiencing the same issue with a multi-site GIS server configuration with no Web Adaptor. The only difference is that I am publishing a Geolocator service.

Same problem.

Use 10.3 multi-site ArcGIS.
