- Right-click the mosaic dataset in ArcMap's table of contents and click Data > Analyze Mosaic Dataset.
- Right-click the mosaic dataset in table of contents again and click Data > View Analysis Results to view the results.
This opens the results of the analysis in the Prepare window.
- Right-click on each message to get more information, read help for the error, and to click on suggested fixes.
- If you are publishing an image service or a geodata service from ArcCatalog or the Catalog window you can run the Mosaic Dataset Analyzer tool.
- In ArcCatalog or the Catalog window, open the Search window, type analyze in the search box, and click the Search button
. - From the returned search list, open the Mosaic Dataset Analyzer tool.
- Add the mosaic dataset and modify the parameters to suit your needs, then click OK to run the tool.
- After the tool completes, if the mosaic dataset is not added to the ArcMap table of contents, then drag it from the Catalog window into the display view.
- Right-click the mosaic dataset in the table of contents and click Data > View Analysis Results.
This opens the results of the analysis in the Prepare window.
- Right-click on each message to get more information, read help for the error, and click on suggested fixes.
- In ArcCatalog or the Catalog window, open the Search window, type analyze in the search box, and click the Search button
Note:
Viewing the mosaic dataset analysis results will override the results of any previous analysis in the Prepare window. Once you address the results of the mosaic analysis, click the Analyze button 
on the Service Editor dialog box to reanalyze for the service.
More information
When publishing a mosaic dataset as an image service or as part of another service, such as a map service, the mosaic dataset will be analyzed. This analysis is at a higher level and will not examine the contents of the mosaic dataset. It is recommended that you analyze a mosaic dataset using the Mosaic Dataset Analyzer tool before you publish it.
