I have two point feature classes, patients and physicians. The patient feature class records which physician each patient visits (a one to one relationship). I would like to run an OD Cost Matrix (or whatever works) and restrict analysis to finding routes where the patient's physician ID (origins) and the physician ID (destination) match.   The only solution that I can think of (which is far from elegant) is to find all destinations for each origin and then extract those where the two IDs match.   Am I missing something obvious?   P.s. The network layer does not have a time field, so VRP is unavailable. ... View more

Made a behemoth of a model, I ensured background geoprocessing was enabled in ArcCatalog, and that the model was also set to be allowed to run in the background. Also, all of the tools that the model calls had their properties set to background processing, and all of the layers were set to be parameters (as stipulated at http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//001500000021000000 ). Alas, it would not run in the background. I then did some testing. First, I ran the �??OD Cost Matrix Layer�?? tool from ArcCatalog�??s toolbox and it ran in the background. Cool. I then made a test model using the same tool- [ATTACH=CONFIG]27184[/ATTACH] Not cool. The model ran in the foreground. Any idea why this would be? One other thing that is curious is that the option to toggle between running in the foreground or background is greyed out / disabled for all of the ArcToolbox tools (although the 'Always run in the foreground' option is unchecked for all of the tools that I have been using). Not sure whether this is normal or not? [ATTACH=CONFIG]27185[/ATTACH] Regards Paul ... View more
