At http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/geoportal/index.php?title=Geoportal_CSW_Clients#Download I found the latest CSW Client for ArcGIS Desktop 10.0. I was not expecting it to "just work" using 10.1 instead but downloaded it and tried to install. As expected the install could not complete: [ATTACH=CONFIG]17029[/ATTACH] Is there a CSW Client already available to use with ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1? If not, is one expected soon? - Graeme

Good luck with the alternative approach but if you need to post more code it would be good to see what the/a value of your INPUT_DIR variable is, and to see the code indented (use the # button to preserve it). - Graeme

I'm not familiar with type of data Irene is looking at but just noticed that the same question is posted (with no accepted answer) at Stack Exchange GIS so that is somewhere else to look for ideas on how to do this. - Graeme

On this line: TheWRA.replaceDataSource("C:\Python_Avian_Reports", "SHAPEFILE_WORKSPACE", "Project_Boundary.shp") try replacing: "C:\Python_Avian_Reports" with: r"C:\Python_Avian_Reports" or "C:\\Python_Avian_Reports" or "C:/Python_Avian_Reports" - Graeme

Thanks for reproducing my error Eric I'm using ArcGIS 10.1 (Build 3035 = General Release) and like you I have found that the same WFS Service URLs that crash ArcMap appear to add to ArcMap OK via Interoperability Connections. I'll log with local support. - Graeme

Every Public WFS that I have tried so far (e.g. http://preview.grid.unep.ch:8080/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&request=GetCapabilities) with the WFS To Feature Class tool causes a Serious Application Error (and loss of ArcMap). Has anyone been able to run this tool successfully? If so, was it using a service URL that you can share? - Graeme

Others have posted some thoughts related to this at http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/30755/better-esri-recommended-method-other-than-pythonscript-for-filling-in-patterns

A similar Question has just been posed in Stack Exchange GIS - thanks for having worked through this so thoroughly here so that I could offer your work as a possible/likely Answer. I had major dramas with Field Mapping of Table To Table being unexpectedly reset in some very large models at 9.3 and was glad to see those resolved at 10.0. - Graeme

ESRI has issued Bug NIM063795 about this behavior. It occurs when the background processing is enabled. Thanks Ken However, for me it is not restricted to background geoprocessing. - Graeme

The code below is given as an Example of the new Python parser for Label Expression in its documentation. However, it looks like, and I think I've read somewhere, that all values get passed into the FindLabel expression as strings because when you run it against World Cities they all draw in large red letters. def FindLabel ( [NAME], [POPULATION] ): if [POPULATION] >= 250000: return "<CLR red='255'><FNT size = '14'>" + [NAME] + "</FNT></CLR>" else: return [NAME] Change the expression to the following (i.e. cast the POPULATION field as int) and you then get the expected result. def FindLabel ( [NAME], [POPULATION] ): if int([POPULATION]) >= 250000: return "<CLR red='255'><FNT size = '14'>" + [NAME] + "</FNT></CLR>" else: return [NAME] Can the code examples, particularly any that involve number comparisons or manipulations, be reviewed, please?

Thanks Rhonda I am using a Basic license so that fits. Is there a bug number I can use to track when it is resolved, please? Also, would you mind testing the Enable Editor Tracking tool to try adding all the fields without specifying anything but the feature class names, please? Although, they are supposed to be optional I found when I ran this as a Batch grid, I had to enter field names and check the box to say "add if they don't exist" before it could run. BTW I was really pleased to see that I could start a Batch grid direct from the Search window - not sure if this was fixed/added by 10.1 but I'm pretty sure it was not working early in 10.0. - Graeme

In the online help for Enabling and Managing Editor Tracking it says "To enable editor tracking with predefined settings, right-click the dataset in the Catalog window, point to Manage, and click Enable Editor Tracking". However, when I right-click on a feature class in a file geodatabase in the Catalog window of ArcGIS for Desktop Basic 10.1, and point to Manage, the only options I see are Compress File Geodatabase and Uncompress File Geodatabase (grayed out) - did this workflow get changed after the documentation was last updated?

From ArcPy I would like to be able to determine the storage type (ST_GEOMETRY, SDO_GEOMETRY, SDEBINARY) of data stored in relational databases via ArcSDE in order to either report on how spatial data is stored, or to determine what operations it is likely to support. This has also been discussed at Stack Exchange GIS.

Thanks Kim I think that is a great workaround - and bonus points for it being ArcStorm inspired. I wrote a Python script to do adaptive tiling for this same client when we were encountering a few features with millions of vertices a year or two ago so we should be able to get some more value from that. It too was inspired by the way ArcStorm created its tile index. I'm hoping my MaxRecordCount enhancement will get implemented all the same because in this instance I know my client will be happy with a "too many records so won't report on any" response but their original request was to stop copying/reporting at 500. - Graeme

An ArcGIS Idea has now been posted for this to request that Copy Features be enhanced to stop copying features when a specified maximum number has been reached.
