publishing map service with mosaic dataset fails

SebastianRoberts — Fri, 17 Jun 2016 18:11:05 GMT

I have the ArcGIS for server image extension (server and desktop 10.3), and am trying to publish a cached map service using a mosaic dataset. The mosaic dataset references .sid rasters. When I try to publish the service, I get the error "packaging succeeded, but publishing failed". My server logs show two related messages:

WARNING: The Layer:'Image' in Map:'Layers' is invalid Source: System/Publishing Tools.GPServer
SEVERE: Instance of the service 'System/PublishingTools.GPServer' crashed Source: Same as above

No error report is generated on the server.

Any ideas before I call Esri Support?

I have found out that referenced mosaics can be published as image services but not as map services, at least at 10.3. I was trying to publish a hillshade map service from a referenced mosaic but I got a similar error to you. I copied my source mosaic to another name and then used the Hillshade function on the copied mosaic. I was then able to publish a map service.
