I have this script that run fine until it hits the final part FocalStatistics. Any ideas as to why it is failing? Below is the script and below the script is the error i get when i run the script.

Solved! Go to Solution.
I think there is an issue of being able to write to the scratch workspace, as the tool is failing before you try to save the raster, when you are writing to scratch. The 999999 error often comes up when the system cannot write data. I have not had good luck with UNC paths, you may want to try mapping to a letter drive.
When you are doing map algebra processing it is best to set the workspace and scratch workspace to a local folder to avoid writing across the network. Network latency can also cause these kinds of errors.
RasterWorkspace: optimize environment for faster arcpy map algebra
I really think you could solve this problem by simply setting the output workspace to where your data are being written before you run your function:
arcpy.env.workspace = oFolder arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace = oFolder focalStats(myRasLst[0], NbrRectangle(100, 100, "CELL"), "mElev100Ha")
Because the code had to be formatted, it appears that the extraneous lines got removed...can you check/confirm the line numbers in the errors to your lines in the code.
Thansk Dan,
I updated the code to reflect trhe proper lines in the errors.
I don't see anything immediately wrong with your code (i.e. it looks like you are passing the proper variables into your custom focalStats function, and executing the FocalStatistics call correctly). The vagueness of Error 999999 makes me wonder if restarting ArcGIS (or your Python IDE) may help.
edit: you may want to check that myRasLst[0] actually exists.
....and persist myRasLst[0] to disk and use it in ArcMap in FocalStats
so i have changhed the code to simplify the process and still get the error. code below... So i am sure there are no spaces and the data does exist. Any other thoughts would be most welcomed.
oFolder = r"C:\_LOCALdata\Projects\Barred_Owl\ConvertModelToScript" # the folder to copy to
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial")
# Execute FocalStatistics
outFocalStatistics = FocalStatistics(r"C:\_LOCALdata\Projects\Barred_Owl\ConvertModelToScript\ec_1vtop25eg", NbrRectangle(100, 100, "CELL"))
# Save the output
outFocalStatistics.save(r"C:\_LOCALdata\Projects\Barred_Owl\ConvertModelToScript\mElev100Ha")
Have you tried what Steve suggested by taking the raster 'myRasLst[0] ' and try running it through the standard Focal Statistics tool from the arc toolbox? Maybe this will give you a more specific error.
Hey Luke,
I have not tried that. 'myRasLst[0] ' is the first item out of 'myRasLst' which is a list. I can run the tool from Arcmap Toolbox successfully pointing to the data sources.
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I noticed your output path starts with an underscore? "C:\_LOCALdata\...." Have you tried a different output path and possibly saving the raster as a tiff or any other format?
Hey Luke,
I certainly appreciate you looking into this but yes I have tried both senerios andhad the same results.
