Manage Globe Server Cache Tiles

Parameters have changed for this tool at version 10.1. Models and scripts written prior to 10.1 that use this tool will need to be modified to work in 10.1.

Creates and updates tiles in an existing globe service cache. This tool is used to create new tiles or to replace missing tiles, overwrite outdated tiles, or add new tiles. All these actions can be defined by rectangular extents or by a polygon feature class. When creating new tiles, you can choose whether to create only empty tiles or re-create all tiles.

This is a deprecated tool.

1.    Input Service

The globe service whose cache tiles you want to update. You can drag and drop a globe service from the Catalog tree to supply this parameter.

2.    Input Layers

The layers to include in the cache.

For each layer, you need to provide a level_from, which is the level of detail at which you would like to begin caching the layer, and a level_to, which is the level of detail at which you would like to end caching the layer. If the smallest and largest levels of detail are used for level_from and level_to, respectively, a full cache will be built for the layer.

3.    Update Mode

Choose a mode for updating the cache. The two modes are:

  1. RECREATE_EMPTY_TILES—Only tiles that are empty will be created. Existing tiles will be left unchanged.
  2. RECREATE_ALL_TILES—All tiles, including existing tiles, will be replaced. Additionally, new tiles will be added if a layer's data extent has changed or new layers have been added to the globe service and listed in this tool.

4.    Number of caching service instances (optional)

The total number of instances of the System/CachingTools service that you want to dedicate toward running this tool. You can increase the maximum number of instances per machine of the System/CachingTools service using the Service Editor window available through an administrative connection to ArcGIS Server. Ensure your server machines can support the chosen number of instances.

5.    Area of Interest (optional)

Defines an area of interest to constrain where tiles will be created or deleted. This can be a feature class, or it can be a feature that you interactively define in ArcMap. This parameter is useful if you want to manage tiles for irregularly shaped areas. It's also useful in situations where you want to precache some areas and leave less-visited areas uncached.

6.    Cache areas for all features and ignore completion status field (optional)

This parameter allows you to track the status of your caching if you are creating tiles based on feature class boundaries (see the Area of Interest parameter).

  1. TRACK_STATUS—The feature class' Cached field is read (and created if it doesn't exist yet). Features containing No or null in this field are cached and will contain Yes when caching has completed for the feature. Features already marked Yes in this field are not cached.
  2. DO_NOT_TRACK_STATUS—The feature class' Cached field is ignored and tiles are created for all features in the feature class.

7.    Update Extent (optional)

Rectangular extent at which tiles should be created or deleted, depending on the Update Mode. You can type the extent values or choose an extent from an existing data source.

Manage Map Server Cache Scales

Updates the scale levels in an existing cached map or image service. Use this tool to add new scales or delete existing scales from a cache.

1.    Input Service

The map or image service for which you want to add or remove cache scales. You can drag and drop a map or image service from the Catalog tree to supply this parameter.

2.    Scales

The scale values to be included in the updated tiling scheme.

You must specify existing scale values if you want to keep them. Any existing scale levels you do not specify in this tool will be permanently deleted. For example, if you have four existing scales and you wish to add two scales, make sure your final list has a total of six scales.

Manage Map Server Cache Status

Manages internal data kept by the server about the built tiles in a map or image service cache.

1.    Input Service

The map or image service for which the status will be modified. You can drag and drop a map or image service from the Catalog tree to supply this parameter.

2.    Scales (optional)

The scale levels for which the status will be modified. This parameter is only applicable when building a custom status using the Rebuild bundle status option for the Manage Mode parameter.

3.    Manage Mode

  1. DELETE_CACHE_STATUS—Deletes the status information used by the server.
  2. REBUILD_CACHE_STATUS—Deletes, then rebuilds the status information used by the server.
  3. REPORT_BUNDLE_STATUS—Creates status information in a new file geodatabase named Status.gdb in a folder you specify in the Output Folder parameter. This option is used when you want to create a custom status report for a particular area of interest or set of scales.

4.    Number of caching service instances (optional)

The total number of instances of the System/CachingTools service that you want to dedicate toward running this tool. You can increase the maximum number of instances per machine of the System/CachingTools service using the Service Editor window available through an administrative connection to ArcGIS Server. Ensure your server machines can support the chosen number of instances.

This tool uses three instances by default, if that many are available. Using a larger number of instances with this tool may cause the operation to slow down.

5.    Output Folder (optional)

Output folder for the Status.gdb. This parameter is only applicable when building a custom status using the Rebuild bundle status option.

6.    Area Of Interest (Polygon) (optional)

An area of interest (polygon) that determines what geography the status report will cover. This parameter is only applicable when building a custom status using the Rebuild bundle status option.

7.    Report Extent (optional)

A rectangular extent defining the area for which the status will be built. This parameter is only applicable when building a custom status using the Rebuild bundle status option.

Note that the Area Of Interest parameter allows you to specify an area of interest that is nonrectangular.Report Extent (optional) A rectangular extent defining the area for which the status will be built. This parameter is only applicable when building a custom status using the Rebuild bundle status option.

Manage Map Server Cache Tiles

Creates and updates tiles in an existing web tile layer cache. This tool is used to create new tiles, replace missing tiles, overwrite outdated tiles, and delete tiles.

1.    Input Service

The web tile layer or map image layer whose cache tiles you want to update.

2.    Scales (Estimated Disk Space)

A list of scale levels at which tiles will be created.

By default, the scales listed in the tool dialog are between the minimum and maximum cached scales for the service. You cannot change the cache scale range of the service with ArcGIS Pro. You can however change it using ArcMap by selecting the service in the Catalog window, and selecting Service Properties from its context menu. Use the Caching tab and adjust the slider bar. You can also adjust this property by editing the "Tile Layer" and adjusting the "visible scale range" in the portal URL.

3.    Update Mode

The mode for updating the cache.

  1. RECREATE_EMPTY_TILES—Only tiles that are empty will be created. Existing tiles will be left unchanged. This option is not available for web tile layers published to ArcGIS Online.
  2. RECREATE_ALL_TILES—Existing tiles will be replaced and new tiles will be added if the extent has changed.
  3. DELETE_TILES—Tiles will be deleted from the cache. The cache folder structure will not be deleted.

4.    Number of caching service instances (optional)

Defines the number of instances that will be used to update/generate the tiles. The value for this parameter is set to unlimited (-1) and cannot be modified.

5.    Area Of Interest (Polygon) (optional)

Defines an area of interest to constrain where tiles will be created or deleted. This parameter is useful if you want to manage tiles for irregularly shaped areas. It's also useful in situations where you want to pre-cache some areas and leave less-visited areas uncached.

If you do not provide a value for this parameter, the default is to use the full extent of the map.

6.    Wait for job completion (optional)

This parameter allows you to watch the progress of the cache job running on ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS.

  1. Checked—This tool will continue to run in Pro while the cache job runs on your Portal for ArcGIS or ArcGIS Online. With this option, you can request detailed progress reports at any time and view the geoprocessing messages as they appear.
  2. Unchecked—This tool will submit the job to the Portal, allowing you to perform other geoprocessing tasks in ArcGIS Pro or even close it. This option is used when you choose to build a cache automatically at the time you publish the service, and you can also set this option on any other cache that you build. To track the status of the cache job, open ArcMap, right-click the service in the Catalog window, and click View Cache Status. You can also use the URL provided in the tool result message.

7.    Update Extent (optional)

Rectangular extent at which to create or delete tiles, depending on the value of the Update Mode parameter. It is not recommended you provide values for both Update Extent and Area of Interest. If values for both parameters are provided, the value of Area of Interest will be used.Update Extent (optional) Rectangular extent at which to create or delete tiles, depending on the value of the Update Mode parameter.

Upgrade Map Server Cache Storage Format

Upgrades the compact cache storage format of a map or image service (created at 10.2.2 and earlier versions) to take advantage of performance improvements available at 10.3 and later versions.

Beginning at 10.3, the compact cache storage format was improved to increase performance when consuming cached map and image services. Improvements also reduced the number of files created in the cache directory by including the tile index information (.bundlx files) inside the .bundle files. New compact caches created with ArcGIS 10.3 for Server (and later versions) will automatically leverage the performance improvements.

If you upgrade to 10.3 and later versions, your services with compact caches generated in earlier versions will continue to work. You can continue to maintain these caches using the server cache tools.

If you want your existing cache to leverage the performance improvements, upgrade to 10.3 (or later versions) and then upgrade the cache using this tool. Upgrading the cache does not create new tiles; instead, the files are reorganized to be compliant with the improved format.

The improved compact cache storage format is not backwards compatible with earlier versions of ArcGIS. For example, a compact cache created or upgraded using 10.3 (or later versions) cannot be transferred and consumed in 10.2.2 (or earlier versions) of the software. The improved compact cache storage format is always expected to be associated with a service.

1.    Input Service

The map or image service cache you want to upgrade.

This string contains both the server and service information. To see how to construct this string, open ArcCatalog, select your service in the Catalog tree, and note the text in the Location toolbar. Then change the backslashes to forward slashes, for example, GIS Servers/arcgis on MYSERVER (admin)/USA.MapServer.

2.    Number of caching service instances (optional)

The total number of instances of the System/CachingTools service that you want to dedicate toward running this tool. You can increase the maximum number of instances per machine of the System/CachingTools service using the Service Editor window available through an administrative connection to ArcGIS Server. Ensure your server machines can support the chosen number of instances.
