Error importing Metadata

[John O'Donnell]

Hi all,

So I've been hitting my head against a problem that has stopped me at step one. I have prepared my DEM and am trying to run the first steps and I am getting a weird error where the tool works but it fails when trying to import metadata.

I was worried that it was an issue with naming and have moved my files to a location directly on C Drive with no spaces in the name. I uninstalled and reinstalled ArcPro from 3.0.2 to 3.0.3 and still the same error. I reprojected the DEM and uninstalled an old version if python from my computer and still no change.

I hope someone here can help explain what I'm missing! Here's the full output from running the tool with the error code highlighted in red at the end.

Josh,

Thank you for reaching out! I look forward to getting some insight on the problem.

Hi John

It appears that the problem is due to the non-ACPF database structure that you are using. Typically, the ACPF tools expect to see the naming conventions developed to support the standard HUC12-based data structure. Yours does not. I would suggest that you edit the scripts\PitFillHolePunchP4.py and comment out the very last line (255), which makes the call to import the metadata xml for this tool. I suspect that should resolve the issue. Alternatively, you could assemble a traditional ACPF fgdb, e.g.  acpf070801040203.gdb.
