I can see that you get Snow_Centerlines_ from user input Snow_Centerlines_ = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) but I do not see where the source of Snow_Removal_Area__2_ is defined as it seems to just be given a name Snow_Removal_Area__2_ = "Snow_Removal_Area" Maybe this is where rfairhur24 is saying that the Model is getting tripped up. I think you might need to add the Snow_Removal_Area as a feature layer using MakeFeatureLayer_management before using this layer in the spatial join. ... View more

I really need to see how the Spatial Join tool is configured.  Can you get that into a screenshot? If not, can you export as a python script and paste that into the thread? ... View more

Dawn: You say "When I build a model and use the spatial join from the Analysis toolbox I don't get the attributes." Can you provide a screenshot of how this is configured as it just might be that your configuration settings are not correct for the results that you want to achieve? ... View more

Do you know if this would work as I don't want to process files older than say 7/1/2011 which was the last time I batch processed mxd files (no one has modified these files in ~ 2.5 years)? import datetime filedate = datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(rootpath + "/" + fName))      #filedate = datetime.date(2014, 1, 27) comparedate = datetime.now if (filedate - comparedate).days > 915: #915 is ~ 2.5 years     print('Work on this file') else:     print('Do nothing') The problem here is that the time frame keeps getting longer as time goes by.  I want to compare the date of the file against a specific date so the time frame does not keep changing. ...

Have you tried this installation on a Win2008 Server?  I ask because if it works on a Win2008 Server, maybe it is a bug specific to a Win2012 Server. ... View more

Can you show how you are calling the script from the Task Scheduler? Are you calling the .py directly or are you using a bat file to call the .py file(s)? In either case you would need to specifically tell the Task Scheduler to use the 32-bit version of python as, by default, it is probably calling the 64-bit version of python.  This is a change I needed to make on my GIS servers where there was both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of python installed (e.g. ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Server software both installed on the server). ...
