I am running into a problem with the calculator raster function (not the raster calculator in sa). When I try to add two rasters (raster1 + raster2) I get an immediate failure without a detailed message just 'failed to apply calculator' in the history with a message in the details that only says execution fails. No useful information.
My image type is .bil with a float32 pixel depth. I do not have an sa license at this time but the calculator raster function is enabled. Do I need sa?
Calculate does not need SA.
Did you define the variables?
eg
I only get similar error if variables are not defined.
If you do
Then you will get a failure.
Suggest you check also with some other rasters and visually check overlap etc.
Hmm I did set the variables when I ran the tool. Also tried with a
geotiff created from the original data. I thought I might have used illegal
keywords to set my variable names (I used min and max), so I changed to
minimum and maximum. That time it said that it couldn't find the sa
license. I forgot to mention before I'm using pro 2.5.
I'm pretty sure it needs a Spatial Analyst licence.
David (and Patrick),
this is what Patrick mentions in the first sentence: He is not asking about RASTER CALCULATOR tool (your link above) but about the CALCULATOR raster function (Calculator function—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation ) - and here the Doc says two things:
So to clarify, I made a test:
Without Spatial Analyst or Image Analyst Licenses i got:
With Spatial Analyst activated the raster function I tested worked.
With Image Analyst activated the raster function I tested worked.
So the short term answer is: It does require one of both Extensions and thus the documentation on the Calculator function page should also state:
But thank you for notifying us, Patrick. We'll have it adjusted
As a workaround for you, Patrick, if you really only want to to an arithmetic PLUS of two rasters: The Arithmetic function will not require Spatial Analyst or Image Analyst.
