Hello,
I'm migrating map services from AGS 10.8.1 to AGS 11.3. I have a cached tile directory generated for AGS 10.8.1 and it's working correctly, but not in AGS 11.3. When I register the cache tiles directory in the map service in AGS 11.3 it doesn't work.


Can the same map service published in AGS 10.8.1 and AGS 11.3 share and use the same tile directory

Tile directories are very large, and I want to reuse them and avoid having to regenerate tiles for services  published in AGS 11.3.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello.  Did you ever find an answer to this?

Just wanted to add that I figured out the issue we were having.  On older versions of ArcGIS Server, the first subfolder in the cached tiles directory was named "Layers" or "WebMercator".

Renaming this folder to the name of the ArcGIS Pro map file fixed our issue, and the cached images are now loading properly.

So instead of 2023_cached_aerials\layers\ we now have 2023_cached_aerials\2023_cached_aerials.

Keep in mind that the main folder name is the service name, and the first subfolder name is the ArcGIS Map name.  It is possible that these could be different if the service was renamed when publishing.

I hope this helps someone.
