ArcGIS 10 Pre-release Intersect Failure on Large Dataset

MikeChancey — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 17:23:42 GMT

I have been testing 10 pre-release with some of our standard processes. The only issue I have encountered has been with the interesect tool. I am trying to intersect two polygon features, one representing parcels (193,569 records) and one representing impervious surfaces, (681,255 records). This is a process that has run successfully in previous versions of ArcGIS. I have tried using input files stored in file geodatabases, shapefiles, and even coverages. I have run repair geometry on the input features. No matter what I try the query errors out.

Reading Features...
Processing Tiles...
ERROR 999999: Error executing function.
Invalid Topology [Topoengine error.]
Failed to execute (Intersect).
Failed at Mon Jun 21 10:25:46 2010 (Elapsed Time: 14 minutes 55 seconds)

From another run the error log shows:

This process is mission essential, and has to work as a Python script. So far I can't get it to work in the model builder window or even just straight from the toobox.

The error log mentions Output has Z Values and Output has M Values. I am fairly sure neither input feature as either Z or M.

FWIW, the PC I am testing on sucessfully ran this process in 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, and 9.31. We did do a fully reformat before installing 10 so there are no leftover bits of previous versions of ArcGIS.

Any ideas?

Found my own answer on this one, read the system requirements first. I had inadvertantly selected a PC that did not meet the minimums. The specs require a dual core or better, mine was just a regular P4. I uninstalled and moved it to an actual dual core unit and the large intersect worked quickly with no issues.

hehe I have met this problem today. I think it's the problem that my computer dont have enough memory.
