Hi,   We use the tool "Manage Tile Cache" on the local machine Desktop in ArcMap 10.5, for ArcGIS Server 10.3. Parameter "area_of_interest" is the feature class created by CacheWorx "Coverage To Feature" Level 19     The help says: "For the fastest tile creation, your CPU should be working near 100% during the tile creation" Having 16 cores CPU, and using ParallelProcessingFactor 100% or 16  the CPU usage is very low - between 3 to 8 percents In order to find a workaround I tried to use a script with multiprocessing. Unfortunately, it has an error at the run time. Please help to make it working.   The script   #run “Manage Tile Cache” tool in parallel processing   import arcpy import multiprocessing import os import glob import sys import traceback from multiprocessing import Process, Queue, Pool, \     cpu_count, current_process, Manager   arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace = "in_memory"   AAA_Imagery = "D:/gisdata/imagery/public_AAA_Imagery/AAA_Imagery" Manage_Mode = "RECREATE_ALL_TILES" Scales__Pixel_Size___Estimated_Disk_Space_ = "564.248588" Best_WebM = "D:/gisdata/imagery/BestMosaic_2017test.gdb/Best_WebM" Level_20_coverage = "D:/gisdata/imagery/Levels_coverage.gdb/Level_20_coverage"   def execute_task(bundleAOI):     try:         result = arcpy.ManageTileCache_management(AAA_Imagery, Manage_Mode, "", Best_WebM, "ARCGISONLINE_SCHEME", "", Scales__Pixel_Size___Estimated_Disk_Space_, bundleAOI, "", "591657527.591555", "282.124294")         print(arcpy.GetMessages())         print "result: " + result     except Exception, e:         e.traceback = traceback.format_exc()         raise if __name__ == '__main__':       #get individual bundles, add it to a dictonary     bundles = {}     count = 1     for bundle in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(Level_20_coverage,["*"]):         bundles[count] = bundle         count += 1     # create a process pool and pass dictonary of extent to execute task     pool = Pool(processes=cpu_count())     pool.map(execute_task, bundles.items())     pool.close()     pool.join()     The error (see the image)     ...

Hi, I run the tool in ArcCatalog 10.3.1, the geoprocessing  Bundle Size  No error message. No result. I suppose the message "returned non-zero exit status 3" should say something. With ArcCatalog I can see all paths used, no restricted permission.
