Add georeferenced drone image to arcgis enterprise

[shildebrand]

I was able to publish a tiled map service containing 5 different georeferenced drone images.  The only issue is that when I open the service in a webmap, the resolution is awful.  It appears that this post addresses this issue?  When I click the settings tab of the service, it constantly spins in the "Loading" status.  

Any suggestions on how to best manage images like this would be greatly appreciated.  The odd thing is that the images are not adjacent to each other and are taken in different locations.  Ideally, it would be nice to mosaic the images into one layer that can be brought into pro and then published into a map/image service to be used in our portal.

Not sure which version of Enterprise you are running, but with our 10.9.1 site, I have to create the tile cache before publishing. Use the geoprocessing tool "Manage Tile Cache" to create the initial cache, then use "Export Tile Cache" and export to a .tpk file. You can then add/upload the item to your Portal content.

Another solution you can look into is the GeoCompressor software from Hexagon.  It allows you to create a mosaic .ecw file, and the ArcGIS Server plugin they offer allows you to publish the .ecw as a map service! 

The tile cache method works well, but the file size can become enormous.  The .ecw is a very compact file and works great in field maps/web maps.

Thank you!  Those were the three steps I need to upload.  Only thing different is that I exported a .tpkx file since the tool recommends this for uploading to agol or portal.
