Is it possible to create a compact cache from an exploded one actually using the tiles from the old cache?
I have a scenario where I have an exploded cache with tiles I have altered slightly using an image manipulation program. Is it in any way possible to use those tiles when creating a compact cache instead of generating new tiles from the published service?
You can use the Convert Map Server Cache Storage Format tool in the Server Tools-->Caching toolbox. I would recommend making a backup of your tiles if possible before converting, as the tool will convert the tiles in place and essentially delete the old version.
Thank you Steve, my first impression was that ArcGIS Server recreated the cache from scratch switching from one format to the other. Now I know that it just put the existing tile png:s into bundles 🙂
