Cut Tool for Image Service

Question

Hi,
I am trying to cut an image service according to a given buffered shapefile.But always it is giving error. 
Think that my image service is a world raster file. I am adding this image service and any other buffered shapefile to ArcMap .Then I am executing the Cut Tool.Failed to execute function error message is given but I don't understand why. When I load the raster files(.jp2 files) with which the image service is created, and this time I can execute the cut tool successfully. I dont understand what is wrong with the Image Service.
Even I am writing this in VB.NEt  and no error messages are given. But this time the resulted cut raster is not seen inArcGlobe although it is seen in ArcMap.All of the values are correct but in ArcGlobe I cannot see the raster file. The layer is shown with blank.
So Can you please explain me and show me the way to work with ArcGIS Image Service successfully?

Hey Randy

I just did this (with a little help from Gunter).
In the attached python script I use the ISCommand (Image server SDK) but you can also see the original GP command.

Have Fun

Peter, I can't find the 'Make Image Server Layer' tool.  Is it available in 9.3.1?  If so where?
You can use an Image Service directly in a geoprocessing tool by first using 'Make Image Server Layer'.

You can use an Image Service directly in a geoprocessing tool by first using 'Make Image Server Layer'.This enables you to define various properties such as the mosaic method. The Spatial Analyst tools will use the Raster environment variables that include defintipon of the Cell size. I would recommend you specifically define the cell size such else the system will use the Base Pixel Size which depending on the defined extent may be a very large request.
