BIS Checks

(Optional)

Specifies the checks that will be performed on the BIS.

  • BIS Structure—The structure of the BIS will be analyzed to ensure it is a valid BIS.

  • BisCatalog Links—The BisCatalog will be analyzed for broken links.

  • BisBDI Links—The BisBDI will be analyzed for broken links.

  • BisCatalog/BisBDI Sync—The catalog dataset will be compared to the mosaic dataset to detect entries that do not match.

  • Proxy Raster Check—Proxy raster problems will be identified.

String

Repair Operations

(Optional)

Specifies the repair operations that will be performed.

  • Remove Excess Proxy Rasters—Unused proxy rasters will be deleted.

  • Regenerate BisBDI—The new BisBDI will be created with the rasters and proxy rasters from the BisCatalog. The rasters and proxy rasters will be added with default values. This operation modifies the schema of the BIS. Any existing BisBDI must be deleted before performing this operation. Use the Delete Mosaic Dataset tool to remove the existing BisBDI and verify that the mosaic dataset was deleted before attempting to regenerate the BisBDI.

  • Update Overviews—The overviews and statistics for the BisBDI mosaic dataset will be calculated and updated.
