00143: Tool <value> cannot use VB expressions for services

This ArcGIS 10.8 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.

Tools that use VB expressions, such asCalculate Field, cannot use VB expressions in 64-bit ArcGIS products (ArcGIS Server, Background Geoprocessing (64-bit), and ArcGIS Runtime).

Solution

You must modify your task to use a supported expression type, such as Python.

Geoprocessing services and packages built for ArcGIS Runtime can use the following instructions to update the task:

  • Remove the task from the Service Editor.
  • Edit the original tool.
  • Replace the VB expression with an equivalent Python expression.
  • Rerun the tool to create a new result.
  • Add the result back into the Service Editor and continue the sharing process.

Tools executed in 64-bit Background Processing must be rerun using a Python expression.
