How can I create a map service that using raster data from the ArcSDE database

jakcyfjeq — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:45:41 GMT

Hello,

I am newbie in ArcSDE.
Now I installed the ArcSDE for Microsoft SQL Server and created the database by the post installation.
I imported a raster data in that database using ArcCatalog.

And now how can I make a map service which uses the raster data from this database?

I tested as follows.
In ArcMap, clicked "add layer" and selected the raster data from the database in "database servers" directory.

The map content is showed in arcmap. but unlucky it was in gray-scale.
Anyway, I created a service which is maped with this mxd file.
And also created the web application for this service.
But no data is displayed in the web application.

what's wrong in publishing a new service of my way?

It would be appreciate if anybody help me with this problem.

Thanks

Hi,

I would recommend reading these pages first:

Adding raster data to ArcMap:
http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Key_concepts_about_adding_raster_data_to_a_map/009t0000006s000000/

Image service and map service:

Prepare resources to publish a service (how to make sure ArcGIS Server has access to all the data):

Good luck.

Hello, tereshenkov

Thank you for your reply.
I have read the pages that you recommended.
I still cannot solve the one problem.

I have a cache data of a cache data folder structure(raster data).
The format of this raster images is jpg.
When I add this raster data as a layer in ArcMap, the content is showed in color mode as original.
But when I import this raster data in the SDE database, the images are in gray-scale mode.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks.
