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.
How to remove ArcMap from normal.mxt template?
Renaming the Normal.mxt template may remove any ArcMap customization, such as activated toolbars, toolbar/panel positioning, and folder/database connections. Close ArcCatalog and ArcMap. Note: The Application Data folder may be hidden. If so, go to Start > Control Panel > Folder Options.
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.
What happens to the tool when ArcCatalog is exited?
A tool that is running or pending when ArcCatalog is exited will be immediately stopped. The result of the tool is moved to the Not Run section of the Results window. The tool can be rerun in the same way as previously mentioned.
Why is my ArcGIS Desktop process still open?
This usually happens when an instance of ArcMap that contains layers which I am trying to delete is opened so the workaround is to fire up the Windows Task Manager and kill the ArcMap.exe processes that are for some reason still opened. Anybody else having this issue? Now running SP3 and the issue has not been solved.
What does the error message on arcmap.exe mean?
ArcMap or ArcCatalog randomly crashes and Windows returns one of the error messages shown below: “ArcMap.exe has encountered an error and needs to close. We apologize for the inconvenience.”. “The instruction at 0x000xx00 referenced memory at 0x000000. The memory could not be ‘read’. Click OK to terminate the program.”.
Which is a separate process from ArcMap or ArcCatalog?
Background processing is a separate process from ArcMap or ArcCatalog. These processes cannot share memory (RAM). When a tool is executed, the data it uses must be opened by the background processes. So, an input feature class will be opened directly by the background processes, but layers in ArcMap must follow a different path.
