Hello When you run a script in ArcMap (Python window or tool) and you have a workspace set but a different layer with the same name exists in the TOC, which will be used? I did a test with get_count, it takes the one in the TOC and ignore the workspace. When I delete the layer from the TOC I got the correct layer from the workspace. Is this a bug?? ... View more

Hello all We have some problems with some GP tools that uses multi processing, mainly the cache commands  Export Tile Cache and Manage Tile cache. When you check the task manager when these tools run you see that ArcMap.exe create a ARCSOMP.exe process, then a few ARCSOCP.exe processes created (the  number of processes is by the multi processor env setting). These ARCSOCP.exe command really get the CPU and do the work. On Some machine, some times I see the ARCSOMP.exe starts and no ARCSOCP.exe, after a few seconds I get 99999 error and the message is Configuration of RasterCommander.ImageServer can not be added. Some time I can close ArcMap, reopen, do the same tool and it works. Some time I have to restart ArcMap a few times before it is running successfully again. I found no errors in the event viewer. This happens on a few different machines in our office. We use ArcMap 10.3 Anybody have any idea?  ... View more

One of the new features in 2.0 is the connection to Oracle. The problem with this connection it does not support geodatabase. My understanding was that it just ignore the metadata tables and see all tables as simple tables. It looks like it will not connect if it find metadata tables (gdb_items etc). All our data in Oracle geodatabase and we do not like to publish/register each layer to be able to see it in Insights. Is there any work around? Maybe create a new user that will not have access to the metadata tables (but they are public!!). Any ideas? Thanks ... View more

Hi All There was some discussions about this  so I found and easy way to reproduce. I am creating a poly feature class in Sql Server (10.5) with Israel TM grid projection (WKID 2039). I am creating a CIRCLE polygon. Then I copy & paste the layer into FGDB. There is a different in the area (see picture). The different in small polygon (400 Sq Meter) can be up to 0.5% (this is a lot). Copy into Oracle give very similar area as the SqlServer. The one that has no difference is a square, all other are circles.  I did not tested different projections. Take 3 minutes and try to see for yourself. Thanks Mody ... View more

Hello all We developed a SOE that has some private dll's. These dll's are not ArcGIS or .NET or OS dll's it is just something that we developed outside the SOE itself. We have some problem deploying it. As far as we can tell some of the dll's are not packed into the SOE (we unzip it). Some of the dll that was packed cannot be accessed by the SOE after successful installation. Where is the SOE installation putting all the dll's? Does anybody run into this problem. Thanks Mody  ...
