I haven't used this. But I am wondering if this could be as useful as the tiled feature services coming in 10.7.x Esri mentioned in the Developer Conference.
Here is my question / scenario for Esri: I have a file geodatabase powering my map viewer www.sagis.org/map It is read only in a file geodatabase in web Mercator. Would republishing with this 'tilemap' capability checked off, tile the layers, akin to how it works with rasters? If it is a map image layer would it have transparency and would I be able to "see" through the layers? Would it handle re-ordering in the layer list, and behave otherwise just as it does now as a regular map image layer? Does it tile into the data store? And what do I do, when it comes time to update the vector data, which I'm currently doing quarterly? And also what implications will there be when I get replication set up and it becomes automatic weekly? Currently I have Server 10.6.1 and looking to go 10.7.1 when it ships. I was thinking of going tiled feature layers but maybe I just need tiled map layers? Whatever's absolutely the fastest for performance, both for the user and server, is the option I am looking to go with.
