IFeatureEdit.Split fails with network I/O error when processing large number of lines

MHawkins — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:23:46 GMT

I've developed VB.Net a tool to split all lines in a selected layer at the intersection of a point feature. Its use in a current project is for each of 17000 points, locate the line intersected by the point, split the line, populate various fields. The tool has started running very slowly, processing only one or two features per second and randomly throwing the following exception. Sometimes it will successfully edit 1500 features and sometimes 50 before this error is encountered.

I've tried using both IFeatureEdit.Split which creates two new lines and deletes the old one and IFeatureEdit2.SplitWithUpdate which shortens original line to split point and creates a new line for the other half of the original line. Both run equally slowly.

In ArcGIS 9.3 this tool ran fine and would complete processing of the 1700 features in an hour or so. I'm in the process of upgrading the tool to work with ArcGIS 10 but can't seem to resolve this issue.

I'm running ArcGIS 10.0 Service pack 2 on a Windows XP machine. I've tried it on a machine with Win 7, ArcGIS 10.0 SP2 with same result. As I did for the 9.3 implementation of this tool, I've set the JET engine max # of records to calculate in the ArcMap Advanced Settings Utility to one million to prevent hitting the max number of tables limit.

Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
