<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone experienced the following problem, if so, can you
offer a solution or explanation?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m running an Append process in ArcGIS ModelBuilder.
The inputs are all using the %workspace% variable and the workspace path is set
at the model level (model properties…). If I run the process from
inside the model, it appends the records, but the attribute values are <u>empty</u>.
If I flag each input as a parameter and run the model from the toolbox (double
click model), the inputs are not found until I set the workspace path at the
tool level (Environment…). When I run it that way, both records and
values are added to the output correctly. BTW - This only
happens with the Append tool… the other tools work properly in either scenario.
We’ve been able to duplicate this problem on other machines, so it
appears to be an ArcGIS issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Bottom line - I want to be able to run the model without
having to set the environment workspace each time, and I also want to be able
to run it from inside ModelBuilder. Maybe I’m misunderstanding
the Environment Settings hierarchy, but why does it only affect the Append tool?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can anyone offer an explanation?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
