MapInfo Pro

I've been merging lots of images into MRR's lately but one batch of images is failing to process (i.e. MapInfo stops responding after a few hours). It's not of a higher resolution then my other images and the amount of images I've processed numerous times before.

I've talked to one of my colleagues who's was originally processing the images before it was tasked to me and he said that one of the images may be corrupt as that was the case when he once encountered something like this. He also mentioned that there is a log file, or something similar that contains information regarding the process that might help me figure out what exactly is going on.

If someone was to confirm that the log file exists and let me know where I might find it, that would be greatly appreciated!

Michael, see if this helps generate a log file:

---------------------------------

Steps to enable logging for MiRaster:

1. Open the registry by typing start>run>regedit.

2. Go to the registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MapInfo\MapInfo\Raster\300. (this is the latest Raster version)

3. Create a DWORD "EnableLogger" and give it a value of 1.

4. Create a String Value "LogFilePath" and give it a value or path like C:\temp or some other existing folder.

5. After reproducing the error, there should be some logs captured in this file. It will be in C:\temp folder (or the folder path set in "LogFilePath") with a name similar to <Date>_Raster.log.

Hope this helps.....

Thanks!

Thank you both very much for your answers!

Reniel, that log file would be very useful to look at, however MapInfo becomes unresponsive so unfortunately I can't click on that view log button.

Dave, I'll give that a go today to see if the log file contains anything useful.

Again, thank you for your assistance!

I found that I had to keep below a 1,000 files on the merge. Then merge the batches.?

Hi John, It's really interesting that you mention that, as I've merged images before using more then 1000 files and with higher resolution images then what I've tried with the batch that is failing. I will give your suggestion a go to see if it'll fix the crashing with this particular batch.

Hi John, I tired splitting up my images in half, processing them seperately and then merging the results and it seemed to work! Looks like it was too much for it to handle for some reason!

Thanks for the help!
