001208: Reached the maximum of <value> iterations without a solution.

Description

In some cases, the clustering algorithm will not be able to converge on a solution. The tool will iterate 100 times, and if no solution is found, it will stop.

Solution

The algorithm will likely be resolved if you use different seed features. If the tool is finding optimized seeds for the Initialization Method value, running the tool again will likely result in a solution. If it doesn't, try creating a Seed Field to specify seed locations. If you are already using a Seed Field, try changing one of the seed features. This error is rare, so if you continue to have problems with this, report the problem to Esri Technical Support for the Spatial Statistics team.
