Validate Topology Failed

DougKampe — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 18:00:32 GMT

I have a topology between 2 features (1 point and 1 polygon) and when I try to validate 1 rule (points shall be covered by polygon) I get an error message. The message is:

"Validate Topology Failed. A failure was detected inside the topology engine overlay processor. [error id:220]"

Anyone know what that means and how to remedy it? I'm using ArcMap 10.0 and Windows XP SP 3.

Hi Doug,
Try to reproduce the issue with a sample dataset in a File geodatabase. You can subsequently attach a zipped file of the file geodatabase for review.

Thanks

Doug,

Have you seen this knowledge base article:
http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/34668

It may point to the issue you're running into. Do you have a Must Not Overlap rule defined?

I am having a problem with Validate Topology - ArcMap Crashes, with "unexpected Problem caused.....". Arc 10.2 Windows 7. I only have one rule - must not overlap. It is a buffer of selected streams, dissolved. 136 features in the buffer. Only one feature in the GDB, 2.7 MB. I have tried several approaches - zooming in to one or two features, really zooming in to an area I suspect has an overlap, creating a new GDB, importing the feature and creating a new topology. I have also tried validating in ArcCatalog after creating a new topology. I also tried a check out license vs a network license and moving the data from Network to Local drive. I also did a repair geometry then tried to validate.
