Import Tile Cache (Data Management)
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.
Syntax
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_cache_target |
An existing tile cache to which the tiles will be imported. | Raster Layer |
in_cache_source |
An existing tile cache or a tile package from which the tiles are imported. | Raster Layer; File |
scales [scale,...] (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. It 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 import tiles for irregularly shaped areas. | Feature Set |
Code Sample
This is a Python sample for the ImportTileCache tool.
import arcpy
arcpy.ImportTileCache_management("C:/Data/CacheDatasets/Target",
"C:/Data/CacheDatasets/Source",
"4000;2000;1000", "#")
This is a Python script sample for the ImportTileCache tool.
#Import tile cache for some levels from a pre-existing tile cache
import arcpy
cacheTarget = "C:/Data/CacheDatasets/Target"
cacheSource = "C:/Data/CacheDatasets/Source"
scales = "4000;2000;1000"
areaofinterest = "#"
arcpy.ImportTileCache_management(cacheTarget, cacheSource, scales,
areaofinterest)
Environments
- 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.
