Additional Information
Parallel processing capability on ArcMap is only available using the 32-bit version and not with the 64-bit Background Geoprocessing installed. To run these tools with parallel processing and in a 64-bit environment, use ArcGIS Server or ArcGIS Pro. As alternative solutions exist, this issue is not addressed at this time.Workaround
Disable Background Geoprocessing.If running the tool as a script:- Open Command Prompt:
- cd <path to the directory containing the *.py script users want to run>
- C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.x\python.exe <name of Python file>.py
- The second line points to the 32-bit version of Python and then runs the specified Python file from that executable.
