Do any of your mosaic dataset items have a checkerboard pattern? If this is the case, it means that there is a problem accessing your mosaic dataset items.
Any failure in opening a mosaic dataset item will result in a checkerboard pattern within your mosaic dataset item display. Previously they used to be displayed as grey. This will occur for both source mosaic dataset items and also for overviews as well.
A failure opening an item usually occurs if the file is missing, or if you do not have read permissions to the location.
To solve this issue, you will need to point your mosaic dataset to an existing file that you have access to.
I have been dealing with this issue for over a week, and I can’t seem to get it solved. No matter what I do, I always end up with a checkerboard pattern in place of the overviews. The previous 6 mosaic datasets did not have this issue. The only difference, so far as I can determine, is the transfer of data from one location to another. Naturally, and based on the content of this blog, I assume the problem lies therein. I have, however, already repaired the paths and ensured they are the appropriate, UNC format.
Can I try anything else to help solve this issue?
Off hand, I can only think of 2 possible issues:
- either the your overviews for your mosaic dataset have not linked up properly or re-mapped
- or the new location of your source data cannot be accessed by ArcGIS for some reason (usually a permissions issue).
If either of theses are not the case, I would suggest that you give our Technical Support staff a call.
