Add Rasters (Operation)

URL	`http://<imageservice-url>/add` (POST only)
Parent Resource	Image Service
Required Capability	Edit

Description

This operation is supported from 10.1 onwards.

The add rasters operation is performed on an image service resource.

The add rasters operation adds new rasters to an image service (POST only).

The added rasters can either be items uploaded using the itemIds parameter, or published services using the serviceUrl parameter.

If the itemIds is specified, uploaded rasters will be copied to image service's dynamic image workspace location; if the serviceUrl is specified, the image service will add this URL to the mosaic dataset with no raster files copied. The serviceUrl is required input for the following raster types: Image Service, Map Service, WCS, WMS.

You can provide arguments to the add rasters operation as query parameters defined in the parameters table below.

Parameters

Parameter	Details
f	Description: The response format. The default response format is html. Values: html \| json
itemIds	Description: The upload items (raster files) to be added. Syntax: `itemIds=<itemId1>,<itemId2>` Example: `itemIds=ib740c7bb-e5d0-4156-9cea-12fa7d3a472c,ib740c7bb-e2d0-4106-9fea-12fa7d3a482c`
serviceUrl	Description: The URL of the service to be added. The image service will add this URL to the mosaic dataset. Service url is required for the following raster types: Image Service, Map Service, WCS and WMS Example: `serviceUrl=http://myserver/arcgis/services/Portland/ImageServer`
rasterType	Description: The type of raster files being added. Raster types define the metadata and processing template for raster files to be added. Allowed values are listed in image service resource. A comprehensive coverage on description of each raster type can be found on the ArcGIS Resource Center. Example: Raster Dataset \| CADRG/ECRG \| CIB \| DTED \| Image Service \| Map Service \| NITF \| WCS \| WMS
computeStatistics	Description: If `true`, statistics for the rasters will be computed. The default is `false`. Values: `false \| true`
buildPyramids	Description: If `true`, build pyramids for the rasters. The default is `false`. Values: `false \| true`
buildThumbnail	Description: If `true`, generate a thumbnail for the rasters. The default is `false`. Values: `false \| true`
minimumCellSizeFactor	Description: The factor (times raster resolution) used to populate MinPS field (maximum cell size above which raster is visible). Syntax: `minimumCellSizeFactor=<minimumCellSizeFactor>` Example: `minimumCellSizeFactor=0.1`
maximumCellSizeFactor	Description: The factor (times raster resolution) used to populate MaxPS field (maximum cell size below which raster is visible). Syntax: `maximumCellSizeFactor=<maximumCellSizeFactor>` Example: `maximumCellSizeFactor=10`
attributes	Description: Any attribute for the added rasters. Syntax: { "<name1>" : <value1>, "<name2>" : <value2> } Example: { "MinPS": 0, "MaxPS": 20; "Year" : 2002, "State" : "Florida" }
geodataTransforms	Description: The geodata transformations applied on the added rasters. A geodata transformation is a mathematical model that performs geometric transformation on a raster, it defines how the pixels will be transformed when displayed or accessed, such as polynomial, projective or identity transformations. The geodata transformations will be applied to the dataset added. Below is the JSON representation of transformations: Syntax: [ { "geodataTransform" : "<geodataTransformName1>", "geodataTransformArguments" : {<geodataTransformArguments1>} }, { "geodataTransform" : "<geodataTransformName2>", "geodataTransformArguments" : {<geodataTransformArguments2>} } ] The syntax of the `geodataTransformArguments` property varies based on the specified `geodataTransform` name. Please refer to the Geodata Transformations documentation for more details.
geodataTransformApplyMethod	Description: This parameter defines how to apply the provided geodataTransform. The default is `esriGeodataTransformApplyAppend`. Values: `esriGeodataTransformApplyAppend \| esriGeodataTransformApplyReplace \| esriGeodataTransformApplyOverwrite`
