Create TPK using Data Driven Pages

Hi All,

I am trying to use Data Driven Pages to create Tile packages (TPK) instead of outputting to a PDF or JPG. What I am finding that as I iterate through the pages, the TPK's don't honor the definition query set by the Data Driven Page. In my use case, I am iterating through every floor of a building and trying to write out a TPK (instead of PDF) for every floor.

Is this possible or can you only export to an image?

Here is my Python Script:

import arcpy, os, argparse parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Export TPK') parser.add_argument('-inMXD', help='input map document setup for DDP', required=True) parser.add_argument('-outFolder', help='output folder name where TPKs will be written', required=True) args = parser.parse_args() strOutpath = args.outFolder mxdPath = args.inMXD #Test if inMXD exists if os.path.isfile(mxdPath) and os.access(mxdPath, os.R_OK): print "input MXD found ( " + mxdPath + ")" else: print "Can NOT find input MXD: " + mxdPath exit() #Test if outFolder exists if os.path.exists(strOutpath) and os.access(strOutpath, os.W_OK): print "Output folder found (" + strOutpath + ")" else: print "Can NOT find output DDP folder:" + strOutpath exit() mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(mxdPath) for pageNum in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1): mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID = pageNum pageorder = mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageRow.FloorID #Building Value buildingVal = mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageRow.getValue("BUILDINGNAME") #Floor Value floorVal = mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageRow.getValue("FLOOR") OutputPath = strOutpath + "\\" + buildingVal + "\\" + floorVal arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True arcpy.env.workspace = OutputPath #Get DataFrame df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0] print("Packing " + OutputPath + ".tpk") arcpy.CreateMapTilePackage_management(mxdPath, "ONLINE", OutputPath + ".tpk", "PNG8", 24,"","","",df.extent,75,"tpk",0) del mxd

Thanks!
