Build Multidimensional Transpose (Data Management)

Summary

Transposes a multidimensional raster dataset, which divides the multidimensional data along each dimension to optimize performance when accessing pixel values across all slices.

Legacy:

This is a deprecated tool. The Build Multidimensional Transpose tool has been moved to the Multidimensional toolbox.

Usage

• The input multidimensional raster must be in Cloud Raster Format (CRF). Currently, no other formats are supported.

• The Build Multidimensional Transpose tool enhances performance when accessing pixel values across all slices in a large multidimensional dataset, for example when you create a temporal profile chart for daily sea surface temperature values across 10 years.
