Hi @deleted-user-s_pSF_cCqVzk ,
Is this in ArcGISMap or ArcGISPro?
you can disable the back-end process, below are some links to help you with the disabling process.
ArcGIS Help 10.1, ArcGIS Help 10.1 - Foreground and background processing
By default, tools are run “in the background” meaning that while a tool is running you can do other stuff with ArcMap. When a conflict arises, the part of the code that does this (the background server) throws an exception (the actual technical term is “throws a wobbly”). You can fix this by going to the Geoprocessing Menu and looking for “Geoprocessing Options”. In the window that pops up, untick the Enable Background Geoprocessing:
The downside of this is that you won’t be able to do other work until the tool has finished its work.

I hope that helps.
This "solution" did not solve my problem in arc dekstop. Is there another known fix for this issue?
THIS WORKS!
When it was deselected, the tool did its job
