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
ImportTileCache_management (in_cache_target, in_cache_source, {scales}, {area_of_interest})| 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
ImportTileCache example 1 (Python window)
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", "#")
ImportTileCache example 2 (stand-alone script)
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)
