Error running FiNRT

[Adam Rupe]

Hi - Has anyone here tried running the new FiNRT toolbox for Iowa (beta version 1)? I'm trying to run the second tool (Conservation Scenario), but keep getting error message below.  Do you have any idea on what this might be? I’m not versed in Python, and this is my first time using ArcGIS Pro, so hopefully I’m just running into a silly user error!

 Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi Adam

What version of Pro are you running?

Hi Adam

The error you posted suggested that the metadata module was not found. This is a fairly recent addition to Pro, so it is likely that this module was not available at your version. I would strongly encourage you to upgrade. Because the metadata handling, there are some significant improvements in newer versions.

Let me know if the problem persists.

Hi Dave, 

Thank you for getting back to me.

 It looks like I’m using version 2.2.4.

 Do you recommend I update? I think it’s telling me version 3.0.3 is available. 

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the suggestion and help! 

Upgrading definitely helped out – the tool is now running. However, several of the BMP scenarios will not run and are giving me differing error messages. Below is a list of what will run successfully or won’t, and attached are the error messages. Hopefully you can see some sort of pattern or simple fix here?  

My goal, currently, is to still match the outputs for the example Iowa Watershed, but several of the BMPs for the scenarios in that example aren’t working.

 Working:

• Cover Crops (Rye)
• Nutrient Removal Wetlands
• Drainage Water Management

 Not Working:

• Bioreactors
• Contour Buffer Strips
• Saturated Buffers
• Riparian Buffers
• Grassed Waterways

Thank you in advance!

Hi Adam

I found this to be the issue for several of these errors. ACPF requires an Advanced license, especially the Spatial Analyst functionality.

ERROR 000824: The tool is not licensed.

I think you should consider an upgrade to a current version of ArcGIS Pro with the appropriate modules in place.

Hi Dave,

 I got an advanced license and turned on the spatial analysist extension – that got all but 2 of the BMP scenarios working!

 The saturated buffers and riparian buffers scenarios still won’t run. I’ve been trying to trouble shoot the saturated buffers first, and I’m getting the same error message now for all 4 input combinations I’ve tried. I’ve tried joining the saturated buffer table with both the riparian catchment feature class and the RAP feature classes, and have exported the joins to a new feature class. I’ve tried running the BMP scenario with the new feature class with no luck, and I’ve also tried converting it to a shapefile and then running it – also with no luck.

 The error messages all seem to end with: ERROR 000539: Invalid field RAP071000040801_riparianid

 (see attached error messages w/ input scenario information)

 Thank you for continuing to help me work through this.... hopefully we about have everything solved!

H Adam

Let me think about this. I have seen this issue before.
