After running ModelBuilder to update my model the drawing synchronization step completes and I get an error that says, "External Component has thrown an exception". I then go to the Editor toolbar in ArcMap and stop the editing session and get another message that says, "Unable to save edits. File sharing lock count exceeded. Increase MaxLocksPerFile registry entry." How do I resolve this?
The Access Jet engine that ESRI uses to update geodatabases has a threshold number of records that it is set to calculate which causes this issue to occur.
1. Navigate to the Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Utilities directory.
2. Double-click AdvancedArcMapSettings.exe.
The Advanced ArcMap Settings dialog box appears.
3. Click the Editor tab.
4. Type a new value in the JET engine max # of records to calculate text box.
It's suggested that the number be approximately 100000 (100 thousand).
5. Click Apply.
6. Click the X in the upper right-hand corner to close the dialog box.
