Rebuild Address Locator as Scheduled Task from bat file

MichaelVolz — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 18:33:13 GMT

I have a scheduled task running in python 2.6 on a Windows 2008 R2 server (ArcGIS Desktop v10.0 sp4 installed) that rebuilds address locators when call ed from a bat file.

I am trying to migrate this script to python 2.7 on a Windows 2008 R2 server (ArcGIS Desktop v10.1 sp1 installed) where background 64 bit geoprocessing has been enabled.

I have successfully used the arcpy.RebuildAddressLocator in IDLE and manually in ArcToolbox, but when I run it as a scheduled task from a bat file I get ERROR 000005: Could not open the address locator (I get this same error when I run the python script from the command line). When I try to open the properties of the Address Locator in ArcCatalog after running the bat file, I only get a portion of the Address Locator GUI as it appears that the Address Locator has become corrupted. This has happened every time I have tried this operation (at least 8 times).

Has anyone had issues rebuilding an Address Locator with python2.7 through a scheduled task or from the command line?

Any help or hints to solve this problem are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am running into a bug where it will not rebuild my locator at all even manually through toolbox. It gives me an error message saying my locator was built with a pre 9.2 ver. even though I built the address locator just moments ago with 10.1 sp1.

What is the datasource for your address locator? Please include version of software including service packs.

Hello! Did you ever find an answer to this problem? I know this post is extremely old, but I recently ran into a similar situation.
