Consolidating the data failed (ERROR 001270)

[BrettGreenfield__DNR_]

I've been experiencing this issue off-and-on since upgrading to 10.3.  After setting up a service to be published to ArcGIS Online, when I click the Publish button I get this error message.  I have still managed to occasionally publish services successfully, but I have no idea what I did to get the publish to go through (closing down ArcMap and re-opening it is about as much as much as I can think of to do!)

I found this help page: ArcGIS Help 10.1 and moved a copy of the mxd/shapefiles to C:\temp as suggested, but still didn't have any success.

Anyone run across this error and figure out how to fix it?

Hey Brett,

I do not know if this will help or not, but when I took one of the MOOC's some people were getting errors due to their browser not being up to date, or needing to clear the cache on it. It might not hurt to check to see if that helps any.

Thanks, Lisa.  I can still upload directly to AGOL if I log in through my browser, but I'm trying to publish a service directly from ArcMap.  I have four layers in this .mxd and I'd rather have them all saved into one feature service as opposed to uploading each layer individually.

I did find an older thread with this error, and it looks like different things helped fix it for different people. Feel free to check out the thread ERROR 001270: Consolidating the data failed.

Brett,

Save the MXD again from File > Save as option. Publish the newly saved MXD. Is the issue still there?

[BrettGreenfield__DNR_]

Jayanta,

Yes, unfortunately I'm still experiencing the error.

Are you publishing a Tiled service?

[BrettGreenfield__DNR_]

Sorry I should have mentioned, it's a Feature Service.

After playing around some more I've narrowed it down to a particular layer.  If I remove it, the map publishes.  If I remove every layer but that one, the map fails to publish.  I'm trying to establish now what exactly is causing this service to fail to publish.  I've already run a check geometry and repaired offending features, and saved a new copy of the shapefile (with a shorter name).  Any other ideas?

Thanks for the input Brett!!!

Any joined/related table attached with it? Try feature class to feature class (conversion tool). Use the new layer for publishing the MXD.

I was able to find the solution.  Apparently, when I thought I had repaired all the flawed geometries, I missed one!  Once I checked the geometry again, I realized that was likely still the culprit so I repaired the geometries and the service published successfully.
