Problem with transfering toolbox from one computer to another

[SajadShiravi]

Hi,

I've created a toolbox using model builder to automate a series of actions in ArcGIS 10.1. We now want to run it on another computer which has ArcGIS 10. However, when we add the toolbox to ArcMap, as you can see in the attached screenshots the model builder fails to identify some of the created tools and steps. It also shows error 000819 "the tool is not assigned".
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Usually the 000819 error means that ArcGIS is not recognizing the tool due to something like a name change or a path it can't find or even a environment where the tool does not exist. There are a couple things you will want to check for this.

1. Make sure some of the tools in your nested models don't use 10.1 only tools.
2. Check to make sure the paths to all the tools you used are in the same location. It's possible that script tools or models that you saved in the 10.1 toolbox are in a different spot. You may want to consider saving with relative paths instead, and its good to check the models for this if you were using it anyway.
3. Did you save your toolbox back to a 10.0 toolbox before opening it there? If not, go through this help document: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/#/Saving_toolboxes_to_earlier_versions/003q00000007000...

These are good starting places for looking for errors. You might also want to try moving it to another 10.1 machine to see if it does the same thing.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the detailed explanations.

I will try to put these issues into account and let you know how things go.

Thanks,

I had the same error after migrating models (home --> school) using self-made python scripttools. Arcmap versions were identical

• The scripttools themselves were ok after migration and could be executed by themselves


• All models using these scripttools had a red cross and wouldn't work: "Unable to execute the selected tool"


• Editing the models in modelbuilder showed the scripttools with a red cross, 'edit' was greyed out.


• Using 'relative paths' didn't solve it.

Solution for me was to rightclick and 'open' each scripttool in the model in modelbuilder and navigate to and select the scripttool.


I still have to figure out what caused this but I hope this is of help for someone.
