Hi Litan,

What is the error message? Snapshot of the error message would be helpful.

Meanwhile, you could check the following

1) Make sure your input/output feature class' pathname is valid and fairly short (Try to eliminate spaces and special characters except underscore in the folder name and filename). e.g. D:\Glacier_Proj\buffer.shp

2) Make sure your data and the data frame of ArcMap is having the same projected coordinate system.

Can you provide what was used for the options described in the help...

http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/tools/analysis-toolbox/multiple-ring-buffer.htm

if you are using a tool, then a screen grab would be useful.

If you are accessing via code, then the requirements in the help topic and any sample code would be useful

Dear sir

The file is much more big, so i divided it into 3 part and then reproject them properly, and then tried. i have tried many times and noticed that the more value of multiring buffer i.e. 10000, 1000, 5000etc meter formed sucessfully but not the 15, 100, 200meter buffer distance.

your 1st suggestion i couldnot get it properly so please describe properly.

thank you sir for your valluable reply

those buffers may be huge relative to the size of the features ie. 10000 = 10 km

how many buffer rings are you using? 3? 5? >10? The more buffer rings, the greater the number of features the greater the problems, ...especially...depending upon the what type of buffers you are creating (overlapping, separate. So a detailed list of the options you are selecting will help

Saw your image on another thread.

What is the name of the output file?
Does it work with one buffer size?
Does it work with the first 2
etc
At what point does it stop working?
If it stops working after a certain number of buffers, begin the next round of buffering with a new output file starting there.

Either the data are:

too big in terms of number of features
too complex
not in a projected coordinate system
there are errors in the naming of the output layer/file
your saving location needs to be changed (ie not in a ...user\...default.gdb location)

Other things to try:

run a Repair Geometry tool on the input glacier file...perhaps there are errors in the input geometry

Hi Litan,

I suggest you stay on a single thread on a particular issue. Just reply on this thread rather than creating new thread.

I am also including the other two threads of yours regarding the above issue for others' understanding

Dear sir

the buffer type is overlapping and no of buffer is 13

1.input feature----polygon file

2.output feature class----feature class

3. distances--15, 50 150,300,500,1000,5000,10000,15000,20000,100000,300000

4.Buffer_Unit----meter

5.Field_Name--distance

6.Dissolve_Option---all

7.Outside_Polygons_Only---uncheked

1.when i apply a single layer buffer file it works for every distance but for all layers at a time it failed.

2.sometimes i gave outputfile name like ''E:\himalayalitan\New Folder (2)\New folder\111.shp''

''C:\Users\admin\Documents\ArcGIS\Default1.gdb\projec2_MultipleRingBuffer2''

3.i dont know at what limit it stop working but the output always like ''failed in multiringbuffer'' for trying all layes at a time.

when i apply repair geometry tool it failed. i am attaching that file.

the error message is like that.

Keep Outside_Polygons_Only checked and see if the error still persists.

it didn't work, sir

This may not help, but can you try running the process in foreground. Per your screenshots currently it's running in background. Error ID 99999 is generic and doesn't tell anything. But I have seen sometimes running the tools in foreground helps. Give it a try.

Refer following for processing options:

Foreground and background processing

DanPatterson_Retired — Fri, 18 Sep 2015 14:16:16 GMT

did you do the incremental tests as I had suggested to see if it fails even with one buffer? I know you want them all...but if it fails on the first, then flailing around trying to get them all to work isn't a good game plan

LitanMohanty — Fri, 18 Sep 2015 14:41:37 GMT

by processing in this format it completed the processing but at last it couldn't merge all the layer of buffers. The error messege is like that..

DanPatterson_Retired — Fri, 18 Sep 2015 15:48:28 GMT

so can you confirm

just 15 meters worked ???
15 and 20 worked ??
15, 20 and 100 worked???
and it failed when you did 15,20,100,500???

the invalid topology suggests that something is amiss in the inputs, or more likely when the results are compiled.

yes sir

at the time of compile it failed.
