Hi friend,

This is the other problem that we encountered when building overview for the mosaic dataset.

I have a screenshot from the log file. Please help.

1. What version of ArcMap, including service packs, are you running? Ex: ArcGIS 10.1 Service Pack 1

2. What type of geodatabase does your mosaic dataset reside in (i.e. File, Personal, SDE)?

3. Try rebuilding the overviews with only the options 'Define Missing Overview Tiles' and 'Generate Overviews'. Make sure the options 'Generate Missing Overview Tiles' and 'Regenerate Stale Overview Tiles are unchecked.

Jake, thanks for the reply.

1. ArcGIS 10.1. No Service Pack.

2. I am using File-based Geodatabase.

3. I have tried your suggestion. The same error happens again. It even pops up a crash window. The overview items include 1060. But ArcGIS crashes when generating 214th item. All of the 214 items have the same error message id-ed as 800042021. The attached image indicates that.

Try installing Service Pack 1 and see if you receive the same error.

If you do, try recreating the mosaic dataset in a new File Geodatabase, and then try creating your overviews.

Are you getting any partial or unprocessed overviews listed under category attribute in your Mosaic dataset table?

Hi, Jake,

Thanks for the reply. It does work after I patched ArcGIS Desktop. Also, the patch makes the whole process faster, much faster.

Thanks,

Xiannian
