Regedit for Population Error

Problem:

While attempting to populate LAS Working Segments the process errors with an exception. In the system message column of the Checklist Step History you note the following exception:

System.ArgumentException: Source array was not long enough. Check srcIndex and length, and the array’s lower bounds.

Probable Resolution #1:

The following code snippets, when copied and pasted into text documents and saved as “Large_32K_TilerBuffer.reg” and “DefaultTileBuffer.reg”, respectively, and then merged into the registry, will modify the memory buffer size used when populating working segments.

1. Merge the “Large_32K_TilerBuffer.reg” file into the registry on the machine(s) you wish to use for population. You will need to grant local administrative rights in order for the merge to succeed.
2. About a minute after importing (letting it get into effect) please run your population again.
3. After that merge the “DefaultTilerBuffer.reg” file to restore to the original state.

Large_32K_TileBuffer.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GeoCue\LASTiler]
"PointIOBufSizePoints"=dword:00008000

DefaultTileBuffer.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GeoCue\LASTiler]
"PointIOBufSizePoints"=-

Probable Resolution#2

If the 32k buffer size doesn’t work try one of the following instead. Different data may require different buffer sizes to be used. Note: This is a temporary fix as we investigate the root cause.

Large_16K_TileBuffer.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GeoCue\LASTiler]
"PointIOBufSizePoints"=dword:00004000

Large_64K_TileBuffer.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GeoCue\LASTiler]
"PointIOBufSizePoints"=dword:00010000
