Additional Information

Strings in XML files are checked for the following to determine if an XML is a raster product or not: - Landsat (including patterns such as ‘landsat 8’, ‘landsat8’, ‘landsat_8’, ‘landsat-8’). In addition, the XML file is checked for the node and a 'USGS' string. - Sentinel-2A, Sentinel-2B - S1A, S1B (for sentinel-1 raster type) Removing these strings from the XML resolves the issue. In ArcMap 10.6 onwards, checks were updated to be more strict.
