How to generate cache tiles based on the a particular feature class,


I???m wondering if there is a way to create cache tiles based on a particular feature class.


For example, in the screenshot below, I wanted the cache tiles to be created based on the highlighted boundary.

Is that possible?


Thank you

Sure. Search for "Area of interest to cache" section in the help here. You would need to specify a feature class which extent you want to use to generate map cache tiles when running the GP tool or using the Service Editor wizard.

Many thanks Alexey for the help,

My point is why the �??Generate Map Server Cache Tiling Scheme�?� tool doesn�??t have this property and thus the area of interest is set as the data is published

Jamal, the Generate Map Server Cache Tiling Scheme (Server) tool does not need to have the area of interest parameter because it is served for another purposes - to generate an XML tiling scheme file that defines the scale levels, tile dimensions, and other properties for a map service cache. This schema can be used thereafter by other map services.

When you want to limit what area of your map service will be cached, you use another tool - Manage Map Server Cache Tiles (Server). This is how the software is designed.

Many thanks Alexey for the elaboration. It is obvious now.
