Trying to batch Depression Evaluation gives empty output but no errors on runtime

[GarretDuffy1]

Hi,

I am trying to run Depression Evaluation (DE) through Arc Hydro Tools so I can batch through a bunch of DEMs of varying resolutions.

DE runs fine through the ArcHydro toolbar but when I try to run it through Arc Hydro Tools, although it executes without any errors (and much too fast, like 3 seconds) and the required Depression and DepressionDA files are nowhere to be found (i.e not within the desired "Layers" Feature Dataset within the geodatabase).

Again, the command runs fine through the toolbar.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Which version of Arc Hydro are you using? I tested the tool on one of my dataset and it worked correctly. What type of input data are you using?

Hi Christine,

I think I am using the 64 bit version from the 10.5.0.90 folder.  The input data is a stand-alone GRID.  The operation works fine from the Terrain Preprocessing Menu.

Now, when I run it from , I am getting the following error messages:

I could reproduce the issue when runnning in background. Foreground completes successfully. Will take a look.

This was helpful.  I was also able to run the process, but only in the foreground.  I will continue to run in foreground until a fix is made.
