I am trying to automate rebuilding address locators with a Python script.  I am able to successfully rebuild the address locators manually in ArcGIS Pro with the Rebuild Address Locator geoprocessing tool. But I continually get "Error 000005: Could not open the address locator" when trying to rebuild them with the script.  I've run out of ideas of things to check. In the documentation for Error 000005, it says: "This error can occur for one of the following reasons: A locator built with the Create Locator tool is the input to the Rebuild Address Locator tool and the reference data for the locator is stored in an enterprise geodatabase or is not accessible." Does this mean that, if you use those tools, the locator cannot use data from an enterprise geodatabase?  It would be super helpful if someone could confirm that for me.  I feel like that is what the documentation says, but I just find that hard to believe, because it seems like most people would be using data from an enterprise gdb!!  I am. Here are the relevant parts of my script - can you see anything that should be changed??       import arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = r'D:\MyFolder\Locators' arcpy.geocoding.RebuildAddressLocator(r"D:\MyFolder\Locators\MY_LOCATOR") # I also tried the above line with only the locator name as the argument ("MY_LOCATOR")         Thank you! ...

I am working on a standalone script that is supposed to stop a few geocoding services, then rebuild the address locators used in those services, then start the geocoding services.  It is supposed to run on a standalone, non-federated ArcGIS Server (version 10.9.1) (the same server that the services were published to) in a DMZ server network.  The script is running on the server itself because machines on my internal network cannot connect with the DMZ server in the ways that are needed for this script.  I am using the ArcGIS API for Python to stop and start the services, and I based those parts of the script on sample code from Esri.  The geocoding services were published on the ArcMap runtime, and today I created a Pro runtime geocoding service, and the script didn't stop that service either.  I am running the script in Command Prompt and sometimes in IDLE. PROBLEM:  The script does not stop the geocoding services, yet it moves through that part of the script without throwing an error.  I can see in Server Manager online that the services are never stopped.  It only hits an error when it tries to rebuild an address locator but can't do it because the geocoding service was not actually stopped first.   I have run out of ideas of how to troubleshoot or fix this.  I have double-checked everything I can think of to check - credentials, names and paths, etc.  The credentials being used can indeed stop the services manually in Server Manager.  Does anyone have any ideas? Here is the core of the code:     import sys import datetime from arcgis.gis.server import Server # ArcGIS API for Python import arcpy import keyring if __name__ == "__main__": # Folder path where the locator is, not the service: arcpy.env.workspace = r'D:\RootFolder\OtherFolder' # Name of folder in the Server Manager where the locator lives: folder_folder_name = 'MyFolder' # File Explorer folder name ags_folder_name = 'MY_FOLDER' # ArcGIS Server Manager folder name # Base URL of the ArcGIS Server where the service lives: server_base_url = r'https://myserverbaseurl:port' # Names of the locators (not services): locator_name_list = ['LOCATOR_ROAD', 'LOCATOR_POINTS', 'LOCATOR_ADDR'] # Names of the geocoding services published to the server: locservice1 = 'MY_FAV_SERVICE' locservice2 = 'THE_OTHER_SERVICE' username = keyring.get_password('name', 'user') pw = keyring.get_password('other_name', 'password') # Create an instance of a Server object in ArcGIS API for Python. server = Server(url='{}/arcgis/admin'.format(server_base_url), username=username, password=pw) # Access server content (ArcGIS API for Python) cdir = server.content # Instantiate the services as service objects service1 = cdir.get(locservice1, folder=ags_folder_name) service2 = cdir.get(locservice2, folder=ags_folder_name) # TEST - this worked. #print(service1.service.iteminformation) #print(cdir) # This worked. # Stop the geocoding services in order to next rebuild the locators service1.service.stop() service2.service.stop() # Rebuild the locators. for locator_name in locator_name_list: print(locator_name) arcpy.geocoding.RebuildAddressLocator(locator_name) # Start the services after rebuilding. (ArcGIS API for Python) service1.service.start() service2.service.start()       ... View more

Please help... I have done so many google searches for this and... nothing.  Whyyyy?   What is the file/directory location or path of the ArcGIS API for Python, particularly on an ArcGIS Server?  I am having extremely mysterious failure with a standalone script that is trying to use the API to stop services, so I want to find some way to check if the API really exists on this server where I'm running the script. Thank you! ... View more
