000863: Invalid GP data type.

Description

The specified input is of a different geoprocessing data type than that required by the parameter.

Input parameters specify acceptable input types. For example, if a raster is specified for an input parameter, a Date type input cannot be used. In general, an incompatible data type cannot be used for a parameter. Sometimes, the tool may automatically correct the input, such as in the case of entering a floating point value when an integer is specified, causing the input value to be truncated to an integer.

This issue may also be encountered when using model variables for parameters. Ensure that the model variables represent the required types.

Solution

Review the usage for the tool and ensure that all parameter inputs are of the correct type.
