Additional Information
ArcGIS Desktop (including ArcGIS Engine and ArcObjects) is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026. Mature support means the end of functionality-based patches and hotfixes; therefore, this issue will not be addressed. There are no plans for future releases of ArcGIS Desktop, and it is recommended that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information. https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/resources/migrateWorkaround
ArcGIS Pro:
- Migrate to ArcGIS Pro. Updating the script for ArcGIS Pro and running it from the same virtual environment with the same data.
ArcMap:
- Split the data in half and execute the script from the virtual environment.
- Manually run the tool for the complete dataset in the virtual environment.
