Hi there,I am having an issue with the arcpy.JoinField_management() function. Most of the time (but NOT always), it fails in several of my scripts, although it is structurally no different than example 2 in ArcGIS help: that is, a feature class and a table, both imported into a geodatabase, and the JoinField used to join the table to the feature class.The error I get is:arcgisscripting.ExecuteError: ERROR 999999: Error executing function. General function failure [featureclassname]Failed to execute (JoinField).looking into the script of the function, the exact point of failure is:
try:
retval = convertArcObjectToPythonObject(gp.JoinField_management(*gp_fixargs((in_data, in_field, join_table, join_field, fields), True)))
return retval
except Exception, e:
raise e
What can I do to solve this problem? My impression is that it's a cache/memory issue, since it doesn't always fail. Is there a way to clear memory in arcpy?Any help would be appreciated - I've been struggling with this for weeks. I'm happy to provide more code or data if that's useful to explain the problem.Thanks,David
