Below are two results from the Python window of ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1 SP1 with 64bit Background Geoprocessing installed.  The only difference (besides changing the output feature class name) is that the Enable checkbox for Background Processing on Geoprocessing | Geoprocessing Options was toggled for the second run. In the foreground 32bit geoprocessing had no problem writing to my Default Geodatabase but in the background 64bit geoprocessing could not - why not? >>> arcpy.Buffer_analysis(r'C:\avhome\Data\QLDgeology\LassitersReef_FileBased.gdb\WongaExt','test','2 kilometers') <Result '..\\..\\Users\\Graeme\\Documents\\ArcGIS\\Default.gdb\\test'> >>> arcpy.Buffer_analysis(r'C:\avhome\Data\QLDgeology\LassitersReef_FileBased.gdb\WongaExt','test2','2 kilometers') Runtime error  Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>   File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\analysis.py", line 686, in Buffer     raise e ExecuteError: ERROR 000210: Cannot create output ..\..\Users\Graeme\Documents\ArcGIS\Default.gdb\test2 Failed to execute (Buffer).  >>> The same thing happens for Copy Features and presumably every other 64bit supported tool. If I write the output to a workspace other than the Default Geodatabase in user documents it works for 64bit background. I've also tried deleting ..\..\Users\Graeme\Documents\ArcGIS and letting ArcMap recreate the Default Geodatabase but that does not resolve the problem. ... View more

Following advice, I installed the CSW Clients on ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1 and ArcGIS Explorer Desktop Build 1750. I have no problem configuring either, and getting access to their respective interfaces, but every search to a Catalog Service that I have been asked to test says "No records found", which is contrary to expectation.  To debug this, I am trying to turn on CSW logging. In C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\bin I have edited CswClient.properties to be: logFolder=C:\ProgramData\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\Logs\CswClient.log maxLogFileSizeInBytes=500000 debug=on dataFolder=C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\Data And in C:\Program Files (x86)\Explorer\bin I have edited CswClient.properties to be: logFolder=C:\ProgramData\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\Logs\CswClient.log maxLogFileSizeInBytes=500000 debug=on dataFolder=C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\Data I've then restarted both ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS Explorer Desktop to perform the searches again. However, C:\ProgramData\ESRI\Geoportal\CSWClients\Logs remains stubbornly empty of any files.  I can create a test folder there so I do have write access. Does CSW Client logging work for anyone else?  Can anyone spot anything that I may be doing wrong above? - Graeme ... View more
