I'm trying to use the tool Aggregate Points with output created using in_memory but the tool keeps failing with: "ERROR 000210 Cannot create output \Output_Tbl"

The tool works fine if I use a GDB feature class as output. Does anyone know how to use output for in_memory with this tool? enter image description here

    I am able to replicate this, getting the same error message on 10.2.1. Able to write to a disk into a file geodatabase and scratch geodatabase (tested from both Python script and GUI). May 19, 2014 at 10:34

    Looks like a bug maybe you should report it to esri?

  • I have observed that areas and lengths are not calculated when using in_memory workspaces, and Aggregate Points gets given a length parameter. Also there are other reports like forums.arcgis.com/threads/…. I strongly recommend that you report this one which sounds like it is easy to reproduce, and then to post an NIM "bug" number here as part of a self-Answer. I say "bug" because it may be an undocumented software limitation.

  • It's not in memory, the Aggregate points needs to create a temporary table and it looks like it's not setup for INFO table. Try to create an ArcINFO workspace and run it there. Yes, this is a bug, but knowing the limitations you can work within them to produce the intended output... what's wrong with running this in a file/personal geodatabase? May 19, 2014 at 22:50

    I have contacted my Esri International Distributor and they will look into the problem and report it if it is a bug. @Michael, I only needed the output temporary inside a script and I feel that in_memory is often faster than local GDB so that is why I would prefer to use in_memory over GDB May 20, 2014 at 14:11

ESRI looked at the problem and have now logged it as bug NIM102306

    Are you able to edit into your problem the brief description that they associated with that NIM number?

  • No unfortunately I don't have any options to edit the bug description. It is only ESRI who can do that. But yes it is a bit weak description they have written for this bug. Jun 15, 2014 at 7:57
