Why does ArcGIS run in the foreground when editing data?
If you are editing data, all geoprocessing tools execute in the foreground. Even if the data you are editing is not used by geoprocessing tools, ArcGIS will still execute all tools in the foreground. This is to prevent a situation where a tool running in the background modifies data that you are editing.
What do you need to know about directions in ArcGIS?
Directions are turn-by-turn instructions on how to navigate a route. They can be created for any route that is generated from a network analysis as long as the network dataset supports them. The minimum requirements for a network dataset to support directions are as follows: A length attribute with length units; At least one edge source
Where is the background processing panel in ArcGIS?
The Background processing panel is where you control whether a tool executes in foreground or background mode. If Enable is checked, tools execute in the background, and you can continue working with ArcMap (or other ArcGIS applications, such as ArcGlobe) while the tool executes.
Where to find success or fail message in ArcGIS?
Click the status bar (illustrated above) in the bottom of your ArcMap window to open the Results window to the tool currently executing. Click the success or fail pop-up message to open the Results window directly to that tool’s execution messages.
What happens if I exit ArcMap while tools are running?
From ArcMap (or ArcGlobe or ArcScene), you can exit and save the document while tools are running or pending. If you exit, all running tools will be stopped. The status of the running and pending tools will be changed to Not Run inside the saved document’s Results window.
When does the number of arcsoc instances cause ArcGIS?
When the system is put under load, the memory usage grows to accommodate the high performance functions being handled. One ArcSOC.exe process and every running instance creates two ArcSOC.exe processes. For example, one geoprocessing service with three running instances generates seven ArcSOC.exe processes.
How to reduce the number of ArcGIS instances?
Log in to ArcGIS Server Manager with an administrative account. Under Site (root) > System, click the service to modify. Click Pooling, and select the Shared instance pool radio button. Click Save and Restart. Option 2: Set the minimum number of instances to ‘0’. (Available in all versions of ArcGIS Server.)
