Looks like you are not the only one to have had problems with the GPGenerateCNGrid procedure in those versions of GeoHMS, found this in the Geoprocessing forum unfortunately no feedback there either. Default CNGrid not generating     hi, I am uisnin ArcMap9.3 with Windows 7 32 bit. I installed HEC-GeoHMS, ArcHydro for watershed modelling. when i tried to generate CNGrid (input fil, Lulc_soil_union and CNLookup table) from utilities of HEC-GeoHMS, its doesnot generating CNGrid (Grid formate) and showing the massage below     " System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.     at ESRI.APWR.HECGeoHMS9.GPGenerateCNGrid.GenerateCNGridWk(ApLayers apLayers, Int32 debug, ITrackCancel& trackcancel, IGPMessages& messages, String& exMessage)     Failed to execute (GenerateCNGrid)."     Pls anybody explain me Often specific problems are not with installation or configuration of the H&H programs (ArcHydro, GeoHMS, GeoRAS) but with missing steps or misconfigured input data. True in these older releases, and still true. Here are links to HEC maintained user manuals for GeoHMS versions 4.2 and 5.0--look in Chapter 12 - Utilities of either for discussion of the Generate Curve Number Grid utility.  Understanding the necessary input components should help. HEC link to HEC-GeoHMS_Users_Manual_4.2 (pdf) HEC link to HEC-GeoHMS_Users_Manual_5.0 (pdf) If you find you are providing all preprocessing and required input grids and are still having this issue, please post back and we'll try to help.

bhavna, You'll need to provide more detail about your ArcGIS 9.x installation, and version details for GeoHMS and ArcHydro you have installed for anyone to be of help. Regards, Stuart p.s. have moved this post to the Hydro forum where more assistance for the HEC GeoHMS and GeoRAS tools is available, so you'll have some chance of receiving an answer. ... View more

Jim, See the sticky thread at the top of this forum: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/79329-ArcHydro-Tutorial-and-Documentation Additionally, the compiled HTML help file (ARCHYDRO.chm) installed with ArcHydro is a pretty comprehensive guide--look for it in the installation folder, default C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\WaterUtils\ArcHydro\bin Stuart ...

Jacob, Looking at the FillSinks() syntax below, I'd try a "0" or "1" for the use_issinkfield.  As noted in this thread: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/15398-FillSinks-not-working-properly-in-Python-or-command-line?highlight=python+archydro     FillSinks(in_dem_raster=None, out_hydrodem_raster=None, fill_threshold=None, in_deranged_poly_features=None, use_issinkfield=None)         FillSinks_archydro(in_dem_raster, out_hydrodem_raster, {fill_threshold}, {in_deranged_poly_features}, {use_issinkfield})                 INPUTS:          in_dem_raster (Raster Layer):              Input DEM          fill_threshold {Double}:              Fill Threshold          in_deranged_poly_features {Feature Layer}:              Input Deranged Polygon          use_issinkfield {Boolean}:              Use IsSink field                 OUTPUTS:          out_hydrodem_raster (Raster Layer):              Output Hydro DEM Stuart ...

Jacob, Check that there is a ArcHydroTools.pth recorded in the PYTHONHOME location, e.g. C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.1\Lib\site-packages It should point to the location of the installed ArcHydroTools, e.g.  C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\WaterUtils\ArcHydro\bin With that present and ArcHydroTools installed, should only need to "import ArcHydroTools" Here is a simple command line example, it dumps the "help" for all modules. >>>import ArcHydroTools help(ArcHydroTools) I've captured and attached the output of that as a ZIP'd text file ArcHydroPythonHelp.txt which should be of help for using the ArcHydroTools in Python scripting. ArcHydroTools use in scripts will have syntax and file format requirements, NO ShapeFiles! And you will need to import your Desktop seat license level including Spatial Analyst extension, and also import the arcpy site library. Stuart ... View more

@littleboko, You don't give us much detail about your download utility, but suspect it to be a web browser. Otherwise, site transfers are working correctly. Use a secure copy or sftp capable utility. I prefer Filezilla ( https://filezilla-project.org ), or you can use the utility offered by Esri secure hosting service ( https://mft.esri.com/EFTClient/Account/mft.zip ), give one of those a try and it should resolve any issues.

Carolyn, from the Desktop 10.1 Quick Start guide Upgrade ArcGIS 10.0 Single Use licenses to 10.1 [INDENT]For existing ArcGIS 10.0 users, automatic license upgrade functionality has been introduced at ArcGIS 10.1 which allows for a much easier license upgrade process. Instead of deauthorizing older licenses and authorizing the latest version, users can convert their existing 10.0 licenses to 10.1 using the one-step upgrade option.  [INDENT]    Uninstall ArcGIS 10.0 Desktop without deauthorizing your existing licenses.     Install ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop.     On completion of the ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop installation, you will be automatically prompted to upgrade your licenses if 10.0 licenses are already present. Follow the instructions to complete the upgrade process. [/INDENT][/INDENT] The license upgrade is usually pretty robust. If the FlexNet Publisher license cache was left in place when uninstalling Desktop ArcGIS 10.0, following the installation of 10.1, the existing cache of license fulfillments (C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet\ARCGIS_xxxxxxxx_tsf.data) is detected by the authorization process. The existing 10.0 fulfillments are then returned, validated, allocated back to the registered Esri global account, and then reissued as 10.1 fulfillments. That exchange is seen as a series of SSL Web exchanges. If interrupted, as in your users case by loss of network connection, depending on where in the process it was the user should simply be able to restart the SoftwareAuthorization by launching the Authorization wizard... from the ArcGIS Administrator -> Desktop panel. Alternatively, I believe you can launch the ArcGIS Administrator -> Desktop panel Deauthorize button to return any remaining 10.0 fullfillments. And then obtain the upgrade 10.1 Authorization numbers from the Customer Care portal. It is not clear at what point the upgrade authorization numbers are generated, that they preexist or are assigned when the 10.0 fulfillments are returned. But if you help your user access the Customer Care portal (customers.esri.com) , you will be able to tell. Once you have the 10.1 authorization numbers ready for use--complete the Authorization wizard. The important thing is to deauthorize and return the 10.0 fulfillments. Either with the upgrade exchange during 10.1 installation. Or prior to uninstalling Desktop 10.0, or if moving to new hardware. Esri provides an ArcGIS Deauthorization Tool tool for deauthorizing -- found in KB 38656 when Desktop 10.0 has been removed without returning the fulfillments. If all does not go well and still have issues with the fulfillments, an Esri Customer Service rep or your regional distributor will be able to help them obtain their upgrade Authorization numbers. You will need to know the Esri Customer ID assigned to your user (not their Esri Global ID), they should have that on their Desktop 10.0 purchase records (email or letter). Let us know how things go.

Nicole, No, the zip file link from the Communities Surface Water site contains the final 2.0 build, 2.0.1.133 dtd 10/10/2011; current build for ArcGIS 10.0 is 2.1.0.152 dtd 1/29/2013 available from the secure ftp site. Also, the listed zip file version for 10.1 is also an outdated build, 10.1.0.96 dtd 1/31/2013; current build is 10.1.0.128 dtd 3/27/2013 also available from the secure ftp site. The most current, and fully patched builds are going to be available from the secure ftp site the moderators for the Communities page seem to be a bit behind. Stuart ... View more

This is an open Esri NIMBUS reported bug -- NIM086586 Lists the work around of copying esriLicense.config to the user profile of each user. It has no discussion of handling the workspace.  But as noted,  the osgi.instance.area {-data} should be placed by default into each users account if licensing authorization occurs. Or can use a common location at the initial launch following install as I note. ... View more
