20026: Layer is an ECW format raster
Your layer is an ECW format raster. By default, the ArcGIS for Server installation does not include support for ECW format rasters. Layers based on the ECW format will not draw without the proper support.
Solution
- Covert the ECW-based raster into a file or ArcSDE geodatabase and replace the ECW-based layer with the geodatabase layer.
- You can also choose to copy data to the server. In this case, all data referenced by your layers, regardless or their original data source, is consolidated into a single file geodatabase on the server. This requires a connection to the server where the option to copy data is checked.

- Alternately, if you plan on getting the appropriate ECW license for your server, you can leave the ECW format raster layer in your map. The server will not draw the layer until the proper license is installed.
More information
Enhanced Compressed Wavelet (ECW) is ERDAS's (ER Mapper's) propriatary format. It is a wavelet-based, lossy compression, similar to JPEG 2000.
The ECW raster format is directly supported in ArcGIS for Desktop, but not in ArcGIS for Server or the ArcGIS Server Image extension . To use ECW in server-based products requires additional licensing permissions from ERDAS, Inc., the inventors of the ECW format. To contact ERDAS to request a license, send an e-mail to salesinfo@erdas.com. Once a license has been granted from ERDAS, it is possible to enable the ECW support in ArcGIS for Server and the ArcGIS Server Image extension.
