We have an application that uses an image servers from our 10.8.1 AGS. We would like to upgrade to 11.3. So, we are wondering if the image service will still work in the application with 11.3 AGS. Are there any major changes to the way image services work at 11.3?

As I mentioned in my first reply, I am not aware of any structural changes in the URLs of GIS services between ArcGIS 10.8.x and ArcGIS 11.3.  As long as you define the map cache using the same parameters between 10.8.x and 11.3, the same tiles should be retrieved.  I have republished cached map services on 11.x and re-used old/original tile caches so I didn't have to rebuild them.

There are no structural changes in the URLs of GIS services between ArcGIS 10.8.x and ArcGIS 11.3, that is an existing image service that is upgraded will have the same URL as before, and a republished image service with the same name will also have the same URL as before.  Is that what you are asking?

Is your image service built from a raster mosaic dataset (RMD) and published from ArcMap since you are still at 10.8.1?  I ask because I have a custom print service using 10.9.1 image services published from ArcMap whose print-outs get degraded when the same RMD is published from Pro.

Sorry, I messed up. It published from a tile cache in a map service it is not an image service. The application calls the tiles from the service using the below format
https://xyzx.com/server/rest/services/xyzx/xyzx/xyzx/tile/{0}/{2}/{1}/256/png8
where {0}, {2}, and {1} are replaced by the level, column, and row of a tile in the cache. So, will this url formant be the same at 11.3? Will the tile formant 256 png8 still be available?
