map service doesn't refresh raster that change every 5 minutes

In ArcGIS server 10.2 we experienced this problem:

- we have a mxd that contains a weather radar image (tiff) that change in rear real time (5 to 10 minutes)

- the image is managed by a raster catalog

- raster image is on a storage area network registered in Arcgis server : The tiff file is overwritten by a script every 5 minutes.

- this mxd is shared like a map service

The service is running but while the tiff images change on the storage the map service image doesn' refresh.

Any idea or support is higly appreciated

thank you in advance!

I think the only way to show the changes would be to restart the Map Service.

Scripting ArcGIS Server administration:

Example: Stop or start all services in folder
ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)

You could then use Window's Task Scheduler to run your python script.
