I've reviewed the Export Tiles operation REST API doc - Export Tiles—ArcGIS REST API: Services Directory | ArcGIS for Developers

and the Tool Reference error code documentation - 001461: Failed to package tiles.—Help | ArcGIS Desktop

I've ensured that the target cache directory and output directory both have enough space and the headless ArcGIS Server AD service account has modify rights to both locations.

ArcGIS Server logs did not provide much further visibility (although there was a few stack traces present in DEBUG mode):

I also reviewed windows event viewer on the 2 back end servers that are in the cluster hosting this service (and the caching service).

We have many arcgis server environments (all running 10.4.1), and 1 is explicitly setup for cache builds (not for production use). I tested this both on the original cache build server, and our public facing environment. Both failed with the same results.

I don't have a whole lot of insight here, as I don't ever use the ExportTiles option from a cached map service, at least not directly. However, I ran it for Oregon's internal basemap (https://web.gismaps.or.blm.doi.net/arcgis/rest/services/Basemaps/Cached_ORWA_BLM_Carto_Basemap/MapServer/exportTiles) and it it was successful (url good for today) for Level 10 tiles.

Is there another process you can have your users run or you can run for them to package the TPKs? There are other options.(ie. arcpy.ExportMapServerCache_server). To get TPKs from Oregon's internal base map, I just run a script I wrote to chunk out the TPKs by resource area, and have had no issues. I can send it your way if that would help.

What is the service you are trying to export tiles from that is failing?

Thanks for the response Ryan. The ExportTiles is called from the mobile devices when attempting to take this 'basemap' offline. The service we have this enabled on is our external test environment at - lands/BLM_Natl_SMA_Cached_without_PriUnk (MapServer)

Update to this thread. After a painful trial and error process, we tracked down the issue with a large Map Name length (that is derived from the MXD Data Frame value which defaults to "Layers"). This service in particular has a quite long name at 96 characters currently - "BLM National Surface Management Agency - without PriUnk - National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA)"

It appears that the name of the .tpk file that is generated is based on this value. The name also has hyphens and parenthesis which was another possible issue, however we did test with a shorter name with both hyphens and parenthesis with success.

Here is an example .tpk file path that is staged in the output location (this one worked because the name was short enough): \\<server>\<share>$\ArcGISServer\directories\arcgisoutput\lands\BLM_Natl_SMA_Cached_without_PriUnk_paran_and_hyphen_MapServer\_agsLMapCacheLF440\test - test (test).tpk

Here is an example that failed: \\<server>\<share>$\ArcGISServer\directories\arcgisoutput\lands\BLM_Natl_SMA_Cached_without_PriUnk_ph_target250_MapServer\_agsLMapCacheLEA9\target250aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - test (test)\_alllayers\L03

We will consider shrinking this value down on our production environment.

BOTTOM LINE: Consider impacts to business workflows (including mobile) when changing the data frame value in services that are published.

I just ran the export manually, via the ExportTiles command, and was successful at Level 9. Unsuccessful at Level 10. The export tiles threshold looks to be set @ 100,000, and Level 10 tried exporting 103k+, but level 9 was less.

So, not sure if the extent is factoring in here, if the tiles allowed need to be increased?? I don't get the mobile piece and what it actually does, so am no help here on that front.

Success:
