I'm using ArcGIS Pro 3.5 and trying to export a tile cache of rasterized heightmap information.

I've got a Raster Layer I'm trying to export, but I always get the error 999999: contact support.

Here's the parameter information that aren't just names or filepaths:

Export Cache As : TILE_PACKAGE

Storage Format: COMPACT

Area of Interest: in_memory\feature_set1

Not too sure how to proceed, besides asking for help.

output location... local folder with no spaces or punctuation? usb drive? file extension?

 


... sort of retired...

For your area of interest parameter, it shows an in_memory layer.  Perhaps use an existing feature class instead of an in_memory layer and see if that resolves the error message 999999.

@MorganDavis0102  Error 999999 is often, but not exclusively, related to something in a file name, path, data set name, or even field name that Pro finds offensive. It can be a space or non-standard character in a folder name, too long a network save path, funky attribute field name  (data supplied from non-Esri sources that allow bad things exist), number of attribute fields, etc. 

Check all your source & destination paths, and then go through the data names, etc.  
It may pay to copy everything to a local folder (e.g. C:\tmp_GIS and not inside a Windows abstracted location such as Documents)  and then use short data names for any output. Go hardcore 8 characters max. 
If you can get it working then you know your input data itself isn't the issue and you can then move the process back to your main data location step by step to see where it fails. 

If you are currently processing some input data and wanting to use the resultant in-memory compilation as the input to your tiling process I would strongly recommend saving the in-memory data to a proper location first, before using it for something like tiling. 
If Pro crashes for any reason (that never happens......) your in-memory data is gone and you have to recreate it from scratch.
