Allocation mode not supported

Spatial Allocator

I’m trying to use allocator to allocate values from a shapefile into an IOAPI file. I first started with a shapefile that just contained county shapes with FIPS codes. I was able to use DISCRETEOVERLAY to allocate the FIPS codes to the IOAPI file with no problem. I then added in some values in other fields in the shapefile that are decimal numbers. When I run allocator now, I see these messages:

Opening I/O API output file

Then once it opens the output IOAPI file it writes the FIPS codes to the file, but then I get this error:

ERROR in /aqm1/models/utils/Spatial-Allocator-master/bin/32bits/allocator.exe: Allocation mode not supported. Exiting…

I did a test using DISCRETECENTROID and the program completed successfully. Is there a reason DISCRETEOVERLAP wouldn’t work and DISCRETECENTROID would?

In your original message, you mentioned using DISCRETEOVERLAY vs. DISCRETEOVERLAP. I wanted to double-check that your run script correctly specifies DISCRETEOVERLAP as the processing mode (i.e. there isn’t a typo in the mode name).

Sorry. That was a typo in this post. I did use DISCRETEOVERLAP.

Can you post a copy of your run script? I’m not sure what could be causing the error you’re seeing.
