Crash recovery for creating TPKs from Desktop

MiriRevivo · ‎07-10-2013

Hi all,

A customer of ours has been running a lengthy Tile Package creation from within ArcMap (File>Share As>Tile Package) and chose to create 18 levels of detail. After the process has been running for 5 days and completed 17 out of the 18 levels, there was a power outage and the process stopped before it completed.
Is there any way to resume the process from the same point of the crash? So much time has been invested in the process..
I know that in ArcGIS Server this is possbile, but don't know any way to do it in Desktop.

Your help would be highly appreciated 🙂
Thanks!
Miri.

Hi,

Yes, although not exactly out of the box. The contents of a Tile Package are just the same as a server tile cache - therefore you can use the doc and tools on managing server caches to generate the remaining level then add it to the cache you already have and zip up (no compression) to make a TPK. Or have ArcMap just create the last level then insert that into the existing cache.

Cheers

Mike
