验证 Business Analyst Desktop 是否已安装并正常工作

摘要

This test is a good starting point for a wide range of issues. For example, if unsure the install went well, or if errors are experienced when running analysis, this test helps ensure that you are starting with a stable copy of Business Analyst (BA). 
If issues are encountered with analysis resulting in an error message, it is recommended to run this test first. 

Though seemingly simple, The test can help verify the following:

• Copies of ArcMap and BA are compatible
• BA is successfully accessing its data
• The software is licensed, and that the data license is activated
• The correct extension is turned on
• Network Analyst is accessible
• The designated output folder has write permissions

2. Once open, turn on the Business Analyst toolbar if necessary.
3. From the Business Analyst toolbar, click the Click on the Map tool (red and white circle with a white arrow).

4. Right-click anywhere on the map and choose Find Point By Address.  Enter an address for which you are licensed, for example, a US address, and click Next.
