Shapefile Polygon Reader unsuccessful reading my .shp file

Hi everybody, i am charging my .shp file with arcgis polygons in Shapefile Polygon Reader node, the file lasts forever charging and when it finally finishes, no data is uploaded. What am i doing wrong? (i have the .shp file in the same folder of the .dbf and all the other related files). 

 

Thanks in advance.

No errors/warnings/messages in the console?

Did you look at the log file? Anything there?

Did you increase the log level to see whether any additional hint to what could be going wrong appears?

Cheers,
Marco.

Thanks for your answer Marco,

 

The console doesnt show anything, the file is perfect, i have used it for other pourpuses and it works just fine!

i dont know what dou you mean about increasing the log level, could you please explain?

 

Thanks!

Regarding the log level, below is an explanation from KNIME's documentation. Temporarily set it to DEBUG for the log file and check if you find some more information there. You can open the log file from View --> Open KNIME Log.

Cheers,
Marco.

Console

The console view prints out error and warning messages in order to give you a clue of what is going on under the hood. The same information (with a DEBUG detail level is written to a log file, which is located at {workspace}/.metadata/knime/knime.log).

If you want to change the level of detail (either of the log file or of the console view) go to
File/Preferences.../KNIME for the level of detail of the log file or to
File/Preferences.../KNIME/KNIME GUI for the level of detail of the console view.

You can choose between:

DEBUG

Debug messages mainly used for development. It is not recommended to use this for the console view since it slows down KNIME.

INFO

Logs information messages. Not really important but also not completely useless!

WARNING

If a node fails in configure a warning message is also issued. Warning messages are not fatal; usually the workflow can continue to be executed but they denote that something worth to knowing about has taken place. Default and recommended level for the console view.

ERROR

Only issued when something fatal has happened, i.e. the workflow can no longer be executed.

Pasting part of de dbx file for you guys to help me!

Hi,

I am afraid that few lines of the DBX file are not of much help in troubleshooting your problem. Having had the original file or at least a dump of the log files would have been more beneficial.

All I can adivse at this point is to google for "shapefile checker" and download one of the many free utilities which can check/reparir damaged shapefiles. See if that helps.

Cheers,
Marco.

Solved!! thank you very much

Great! So what was the issue? How did you solve it?

It may be useful for other people reading this in the future to learn from your experience.

Cheers,
Marco.
