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 that the input be of a certain type. For example, if a raster is specified for an input parameter, you cannot use an input of type date. In general, you cannot specify an incompatible data type 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 the parameters if you do not ensure that they represent the required types.

Solution

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