originally we just kept the cache that was used and created in 10.2.2, but the more I read the more it really seems you cant keep the existing cache when upgrading. I feel little mislead by Esri as they will tell you that you can keep the existing cache and services....im slowly learning that really isn't the case. so I decided to rebuild the tiles using the manage map cache tiles tool. dave ...

John,    thanks for the input! in the back of my mind, I was thinking I would have to rebuild (285gb worth of cache on our machine = 1 week of work) my relationship with the mosaic process is a love/hate...its frustrating that you have to wait so long to see if anything is wrong! may I ask what led you to separating the process as you do? dave ...

as a test... 1) open mxd in arcgis and using the area of interest recreate all tiles within a given area easy to find 2) after creating all tiles in a certain area i zoomed to the area from the REST end point and level 18 was now visible ONLY in the are of interest that i had just rebuilt. thoughts? ...

1) check - that was my first thought and everything looks good 2) so originally with the service was published and cache was the path for the imagery was the local drive, ie: c:\imagery\tiles    a. i later adjusted this to a UNC path name and republished the service keeping the existing cache 3) this environment was running 10.2.2 and was upgrade to 10.5.1    a. could this upgrade has cause some issues with rebuilding certain parts of the cache? i have never only seen one level not sure, its usually been an all or nothing in my experience.

Adam,       i wanted to ask you a question that i hope you can answer... What is the suggested process in upgrading a deployment from a version like 10.2.2 to 10.5.1?    1) more specifically, with the existing services on multiple server being created by 10.2.2 but now running 10.5.1 software, will that cause any issues?    2) i was curious if ESRI would suggest that once upgraded to the new version, should all services be rebuilt completely using the new version?          a. currently we have a process that calculates the delta from week to week and only updates what is needed             1. my fear with that is we will have services with tiles that are created using 10.2.2 and 10.5.1 within the same server. i hope this makes sense as im really curious as to what esri would suggest doing. thanks dave  ...

any update on when this feature will be available? ... View more

Adam    1) yes we are using that tool    2) we took the suggestion from ESRI documentation that i believe stated "n-1"          a. we were originally using 7 instances and the memory and we felt the memory and cpu usage was rather high almost maxed so we throttled back to 6 instances.    3) i could see if reducing to 4or5 instance improves the process any, i say 4or5 in hopes that freeing up memory/cpu would help the process somewhat          a. right now it appears the process it "stalled", id like to see at least some movement, even if its slow movement. also, when we running the same process with the same number of instances we could publish this service within a week (its a large cache), since upgrading to 10.5.1 we are now seeing this level 18/19 issue. thanks dave ...
