Map Cache Checkerboard

Question

All,

i was wondering if anyone else has experienced the following issue while zooming in on their cached map service...

while zooming through levels 0-17 all the imagery appears fine, the next step down to level 18 the imagery changes to the black/white checkerboard pattern but you can still see the GIS data (addresses, roads, etc), zoom to level 19 and the imagery comes back into view.

levels 0-18 have successfully cached all tiles according to the status.gdb (i even rebuilt the status thinking it was wrong, it wasnt). level 19 is still in the caching process.

desktop vesrion 10.5.1

server version 10.5.1

thanks for the help!

I tried to run it all in one geoprocess. Never could get it to work. I single out each step and I get one process to complete before the next process comences. Did you check settings? Worth a look here.

One more thing, I never build these Mosaics in one attempt. It usually takes a few attempts to get it optimized and the way you want it.

John,

thanks for the input!

in the back of my mind, I was thinking I would have to rebuild (285gb worth of cache on our machine = 1 week of work) my relationship with the mosaic process is a love/hate...its frustrating that you have to wait so long to see if anything is wrong!

may I ask what led you to separating the process as you do?

Take it from the top and reprocess the whole thing. The mosaic stores the processed images at the other levels once you zoom in close enough it calls directly to the actual image.

I think that some thing got messed up in the processing. When I do this geoprocessing segregate out every process.
