Hello Andrew A framework for parallelizing a workflow like yours exists in an ArcGIS 10 sample script tool here: http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geocoding/details?entryID=A284F7D9-1422-2418-7F50-BA718224C412 If you upgrade to 10 it isn't a big job to alter the script to perform Spatial Join. If you need to stick to 9.3.1 then you'll need to create a Model that (for example) has an input parameter that selects a subset of addresses (say using modulo arithmetic, like OBJECTID mod 8 = 0, then 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to make 8 possible non-overlapping selections).  Then you will need to run this Model in 8 concurrent ArcGIS sessions, and afterwards merge the results.

Karl Please make sure you have enabled the Data Interoperability extension, then browse in the Catalog tree to your TAB or MIF files.  They will appear as a feature dataset icon; open it up and you will see a list of possible data in the files.  Some or most of the options will have no features, but at least one will. MIF data being recognized as a raster data type is a known issue in Catalog. Regards ... View more

Hi Ronnie If your reference data has "Trail West" as the street name then the ArcGIS 10 geocoding engine will interpret any address accordingly, when geocoding.  The exception is in the Standardize Addresses tool, which will parse out the highest number of grammar components it can from the input, hence returning West as a suffix direction.

Hi This tool may (or may not) be useful if you do not have ArcInfo.  True curves are not elegantly handled. http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geoprocessing/details?entryID=A031D70B-1422-2418-348D-3CB93A90E175 Regards ... View more

Sarah, can you share a KMZ file to test with? Regards ... View more

Hello Terry Assuming you are hitting a WFS 1.1.0-capable server then you should be able to append the extra details to the Dataset (i.e. base URL) string.  if you are using English then the raw XML should be URL-compliant (my uneducated guess).  Something like: http://wms.data.linz.govt.nz/secretkey/wfs?VERSION=1.1.0&MAXFEATURES=1234&FILTER=<Filter><And><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>affected_surveys</PropertyName><Literal>DP 327235</Literal></PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>land_district</PropertyName><Literal>North Auckland</Literal></PropertyIsEqualTo></And></Filter> As you can see I'm also dealing with national-scale data, creating FDL files for people to use to access just the data they want.

Hi All In this case the recommended approach is to use an iterator instead of a batch input. Iterators run the entire mode for each iteration vs. batch which runs the model once and runs each tool n times for each execution. In this case use the feature class iterator if all the feature classes are in one workspace or use iterate multi-value to select the set of feature classes. http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesk...000001w000000/ Regards ...

Hello again The 10.1 release of Data Interoperability will be unicode aware. Regards ... View more

Hi All Can you please log a support call and provide sample data?  Thats the only way we can get to the bottom of the issues. Thanks ... View more

Hi You can use a Spatial ETL tool and append data to an existing feature class; use the writer mode INSERT (the default) but make sure you do not delete or truncate the target feature class. Regards ... View more

Hello Alelentz Unfortunately the underlying engine for Data Interoperability 10 is not unicode aware; this is fixed in the next release.  You may want to try PostGIS dumper utility pgsql2shp and see if it correctly creates a codepage file (.cpg extension) and if so you can then import the shapefile into any geodatabase including unicode data.

Hello Writing rasters is not supported with Landmark ZMAP format, this is true for the FME product too.  In fact no raster writers are supported by Data Interoperability; if you have a particular workflow in mind please describe it and we'll see how to accomplish it. Regards ... View more

Hi Mike Your workflow is of interest; we have a few samples using Python's subprocess and multiprocessing modules to parallelize geoprocessing tasks, but nothing so far using Lidar.  If you can share your data and processing requirements we may be able to figure out an approach for you.  If you can do this, please email me at bharold@esri.com.

Hi Nathan Try AttributeFilter with the Import option to create separate output ports for each attribute value, set the ID value you want per port and connect all paths back together again. Regards ... View more
