Import Tile Cache (Data Management Tools)

Summary

Imports tiles from an existing tile cache or a tile package. The target cache must have the same tiling scheme, spatial reference, and storage format as the source tile cache.

Usage

  • Use this tool to import all or portions of a cache from one tile cache to another.

  • This tool supports the Parallel Processing environment setting.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Target Tile Cache

An existing tile cache to which the tiles will be imported.

Raster Layer

Source Tile Cache

An existing tile cache or a tile package from which the tiles are imported.

Raster Layer; File

Scales [Pixel Size] (Estimated Disk Space)

(Optional)

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

Double

Area of Interest

(Optional)

An area of interest will spatially constrain where tiles are imported into the cache.

This parameter is useful if you want to import tiles for irregularly shaped areas.

Feature Set

Overwrite Tiles

(Optional)

Determines whether the images in the destination cache will be merged with the tiles from the originating cache or overwritten by them.

  • Checked—The import replaces all pixels in the area of interest, effectively overwriting tiles in the destination cache with tiles from the originating cache.

  • Unchecked—When the tiles are imported, transparent pixels in the originating cache are ignored by default. This results in a merged or blended image in the destination cache. This is the default.

Boolean

Derived output

Label Explanation Data type

Updated Target Tile Cache

The updated tile cache.

Parallel Processing Factor

Special cases

Parallel Processing Factor

If the Parallel Processing Factor value is empty (blank), the tool will run with a default value of 50 percent (one-half) of the available cores.
