Invalid Geocoder Error when using Business Analyst USA Local Composite Locator

[BrianTruong]

Hey Community,

Recently upgraded the machines in my organization to ArcPro 3.0.0. Tried doing a geocode on a store list, however I get the following error as a pop-up when accessing my US Business Analyst Geocoder - Local Composite. This problem never occurred in the previous version 2.9.3. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

In ArcGIS Pro 3.0 you should be using the new locators included with Business Analyst instead of the classic locator or composite locator with participating classic locators as the classic locators are fully deprecated at ArcGIS Pro 3.0. This was mentioned in the ArcGIS Pro 3.0 deprecation notice related to geocoding, https://support.esri.com/en/Technical-Article/000027452. The "US Business Analyst Geocoder - Local Composite" is a classic locator and you should be using the locator titled 'USA.loc' as the locator for geocoding in 3.0.
