Greg Try this: http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geoprocessing/details?entryID=E51354B2-1422-2418-A0F6-8E4F8975BDAD Make selections on parcels to see how it works.  Strange shaped parcels may take a while to resolve. Regards ... View more

Hi Paul Run your ETL tool and from the results window right click the result and copy it as a Python snippet. Then create a standalone Python script that imports arcpy and imports the toolbox, before executing the snippet, like: import arcpy arcpy.ImportToolBox(r'C:\Temp\NEARBug.gdb\NEARBug') arcpy.SpatialETLTool("'C:/Work/Product Management/Loqate/Loqate.gdb'","geodatabase") Then follow the directions here to make the script a scheduled task: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//002100000038000000.htm Regards ...

Alex The Data Interoperability extension has a transformer that separates the doughnut exterior polygon from its interior rings, creating new features for each interior ring. See the DonutHoleExtractor. Regards ... View more

Hello Tanner Please take a look at this sample script tool: http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geoprocessing/details?entryID=351BEE10-1422-2418-8815-82074A3E6B6C You may want to put it in a model and project one of the inputs if you are going to use Shape as one of the change detection fields.  You also may need to edit the tool properties to allow GUID fields to be inputs, I can't recall if these are allowed. The tool is not fast, sorry. Regards ... View more

Allison If you really mean a prefix street type with abbreviation "E" exists in your locator style, then you can edit the .CLS file in the Geocode directory of your ArcGIS install to comment out the line where the street type "T" has the abbreviation "E". Look for rows that look like this and put a semicolon at the beginning of the line to comment them out (these are guesses at what the types might be): ELM        E            T END        E            T ESP        E            T Regards ...

Susan I have emailed Keera in Australia but not heard back yet, can you email me at [email protected]? Thanks ... View more

Hi Sri If you have the Data Interoperability extension you can adopt a workflow where only changes are written to the target table (the source table for the dynamically geocoded feature class). It would work like this:  The source DBMS table is read into the workspace and so is the target table.  Records are compared with the ChangeDetector transformer and added and deleted records identified (updates will show as new records from the source and unknown records from the target, versus the source table of record).  Assign a feature attribute named "fme_db_operation" values of INSERT or DELETE and write to the target geodatabase table; this will write the deltas and trigger the geocode.

Susan The GML is not well formed.  For example in ..15284.gml instead of valid XML bracketing for the LinearRing there is a "<" character: <gml:PolygonPatch>&lt;gml:LinearRing... The same is true for ..15237.  The file ...15236 has un-escaped ampersand characters in it. Regards ... View more

Bruce, Thank you very much for your help, I greatly appreciate it. I have just one follow-up question: do you know if using the framework for ArcGIS 10 is faster/more efficient than running 8 simultaneous sessions in ArcGIS 9.3.1?  I am trying to figure out whether I should wait for my IT to install ArcGIS 10, which is planned for the next few months. Thanks, Andrew Tschirhart Andrew The approaches are the same, in terms of execution of geoprocessing functions, it's just the 10-based script handles all the split/process/merge legwork.  The script will help you with the modulo arithmetic details so take a look anyway.

Hi Susan I have asked for a copy of the file you sent and I'll take a look. Regards ... View more

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.
