Thanks for confirming and for the example Dominique!  I use the same handling method for multiple image layers, so to make my life easier I just keep track of the last identified items layer name and in the method just use this. Thanks! ... View more

Hmmm, for me the Name property contains the string "Pixel", which is not the Name/ID of the Layer...  any ideas? Thanks for the reply Dominique! ... View more

Well, I got the identify all working to get the pixel values and the time slider seems to be working with the mosaic too... but I realized there is another issue: I had a raster from the original raster catalog with its classified renderer next to a raster in the new mosaic dataset (which btw references the same catalog) and I noticed the colors are a bit different, close, but different.  I triple checked the stretch function and the colormap file and it seems to all be correct as I would expect and as we discussed above.  I have tried a number of changes to the mosaic settings without luck.  Such as only allowing one raster to be draw, not allowing mosaicing...  The output from the colormap function is 8-bit unsigned and I am using 32-bit RGB colors in the color map, ex.  211 255 190... Is this a problem?  I tried changing the output of the colormap function to 32-bit unsigned, but that made everything all black. I don't think it is a problem with the bit depth though or any of the applied functions, because when I do an identify in ArcMap on an area that should be a certain color, it will show the RGB value which might be for green but there is actually red on the screen.  And there are pixels nearby that are indeed this same green that they should be. Any ideas?  Hoping it�??s a simple setting I missed? Thanks a lot! ... View more

Wenxue, Thank you so much for all the help!  I got the mosaic dataset setup and it looks good.  I just gotta get it setup in my Silverlight app now and test it out there.  But I assume it will work are you said.  Thanks a lot! ... View more

1) Colormap doesn't support mapping a range of values. The workaround is to apply stretch function or arithmetic function (to stretch/squeeze to unsigned 8 bit) and then apply colormap function. This is what's applied to this temperature service: http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World/Temperature/ImageServer 2) "Time Value Format" is applied when you use a string/number to represent date. You don't need to specify "Time Value Format" when it's a date field. Thanks a lot Wenxue! Still a bit confused with number 1.  Could you please explain a little more?  So I applied a stretch function, but the values in the raster go from -39 to 15... I tried using the strech to convert this to 0 to 255, but not real sure if that is what you are suggesting and how to properly do it if so.  Also I'm not real sure how to then take this and map it into a color map.  For example, -39 to - 30 range and map it into 0 - 255?  Do I have to calculate a percentage of the range and then get that same percentage of 0 - 255, which would be something like 0 - 40? Not sure what to do with the Arithmetic approach either, again I assume I need to map -39 to 0 and 15 to 255... but not sure how, sorry. *EDIT* Also, after applying a color map, ArcMap only seems to show the RGB values with the identify tool... am I doing something wrong? Thanks for all the great help so far!!! ... View more

Ok, got a Mosaic dataset setup... but I think I have hit a road block: 1) Looking into making a color map (clr or act) file... it seems to want a color for EACH value and only supports 8-bit/256 integers.  Our rasters in the catalog are 32-bit floating point, so there are THOUSANDS of values and this is unfeasible.  That is why we have a classified renderer on it and not a unique value renderer in ArcMap.  Can value "ranges" be specified in a color map? 2) I'm a little confused about time, we have a start and end time in a date field, but what do we choose for the "Time Value Format"? I'm used to putting dates in the format of MM/DD/YYYY but there are no options for that (they all have the year first)... and this is a date field, so it should know the format of it I would think... do I even need to set this? Thanks! ... View more

Wenxue, Thanks a LOT for that information... This sounds like it will work just fine for us.  I will see what we can do!  Thanks again! ... View more

At 10.0 Image Service supports Identify. Can this data be published as an image service? http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/apis/rest/isidentify.html Thanks a lot for the reply Ravi! Here is the problem, we would ideally like to publish as an image service, but for the following reasons, we cannot: - Raster Catalogs cannot be published as an image service. - Mosaic Datasets can, and they can point to a Raster Catalog, but they do not support classified renderers, which we need... These are not just aerial photos but continuous rate of change data grids. Maybe I am mistaken here? - Mosaic Datasets seem a little funky with how they support date formats for time-aware content, but if I could work out the above issue I would look into this more. So, I guess my problem also could be, how do I apply a classified renderer to mosaic dataset (in my Silverlight application) Thanks again! ... View more

I'm having this same issue too... had it with 9.3.1 and with 10 and with 10 SP1... Sorry, I don't have any solutions but was going to post the same thing. ... View more

We're having the same issue, has anyone come up with a resolution? v10 sp1 ~Naomi Hi Naomi, I had gone back and forth with ESRI support for awhile and we did find a solution.  Sorry, I had meant to post it here and forgot. While it is a bug for sure that these are not showing up, all we had to do was create pyramids for the rasters and then they would show up.  For some reason server needs those pyramids there which I had not generated for this particular catalog. Also, another bug that was uncovered... If you serve a catalog with a classified renderer up as a MSD based service it produces a corrupt image each time the image is refreshed (NIM062763). Hope this helps!!! ... View more
