Error in adding RapidEye Rasters to a Mosaic Dataset

VitorFranca

Our company has acquired a huge collection of RapidEye imagery. To maximize it's use inside the organization, we intend to create image services based on mosaic datasets.
So, I've been attempting to create raster mosaics in a file geodatabase using ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.1 (Advanced) in a Windows 7 64 bits workstation. After creating the geodatabase and the mosaic dataset using "RAPIDEYE_5BANDS" product definition and "16_BITS_UNSIGNED" as pixel type, I've been getting successive error messages in attempting to add rasters. Using the "Add Rasters to Mosaic Dataset" tool, filled with defaults "RapidEye" Raster Type and "*metadata.XML" as Input Data Filter, I get the following error messages:

I can add rasters using "Raster Dataset" as Input Data and "*[0-9].TIF" wildcard as Input Data Filter, but this does not fill in parameters in the Footprint attribute table like 'Sun Azimuth' or 'OffNadir' contained in the *_metadata file for each scene. I suppouse ArcGIS uses these parameters for improving mosaic quality and display.
Any advice?

Our data was acquired under a special "government" license type. We have not received the data directly form vendor, but from a resseler. We'll notify them about the issue. I am using Safe FME Workbench to automate generation of new metadata files with correct file names.

Yes, clearer now.


For our cases, ESRI 10.2.2 will start support it. Pls read the attachment
