Installing the Patch

Since this patch replaces several ArcSDE 8.1 for Oracle files, ArcSDE 8.1 for Oracle SP1 must be installed before you can install this patch.

This Patch installation requires the SDE user account.

On UNIX

Make sure you have write access to $SDEHOME, that no one is using ArcSDE, and that the ArcSDE service is down.

  1. In the $SDEHOME/bin directory, rename the following files:
    gsrvr.static to gsrvr.static.orig
    gsrvr.shared to gsrvr.shared.orig
  2. In the $SDEHOME/lib directory, rename the following files:
    libgsrvrora8i81.so to libgsrvrora8i81.so.orig (.sl for HP)
    libsdeora8isvrvr81.so to libsdeora8isvrvr81.so.orig (.sl for HP)
    libgsrvrora81.so to libgsrvrora81.so.orig (for 8.0.6 only, .sl for HP)
    libsdeorasvrvr81.so to libsdeorasvrvr81.so.orig (for 8.0.6 only, .sl for HP)
  3. Download the appropriate files to your $SDEHOME:
    Oracle 8i  
    sde81sp1_ora8i_hp.tar.Z 5 MB
    sde81sp1_ora8i_ibm.tar.Z 6 MB   (Updated 10/4/01)
    sde81sp1_ora8i_slrs.tar.Z 5 MB
    sde81sp1_ora8i_tru64.tar.Z 8 MB
     
    Oracle 8.0.6  
    sde81sp1_ora806_intel_nt.zip (2 MB) (Added 6/25/02)
    sde81sp1_ora806_sgi.tar.Z (9 MB) (Added 11/13/01)
    sde81sp1_ora806_hp.tar.Z (6 MB) (Added 2/8/02)
  4. Uncompress and extract the specified tar file for your platform. Ensure that the last letter of the file name is a capital Z. Otherwise, the uncompress command will not work.
    % uncompress sde81sp1_ora<version>_<platform>.tar.Z 
    % tar xvf sde81sp1_ora<version>_<platform>.tar
  5. As the SDE user, run the following command to restart the ArcSDE service:
    % sdemon-o start [[-i<service>] [-s <server_name>] |[-H <sde_directory>]] [-p <DB_Admin_password>]

ArcSDE Application Server for Windows (Updated 6/25/02)

Make sure you have write access to %SDEHOME% and that no one is using ArcSDE.

  1. In the %SDEHOME%\bin folder, rename the following files:
    gsrvr.exe to gsrver.exe.orig

    Oracle 8i
    gsrvrora8i81.dll to gsrvrora8i81.dll.orig
    libsdeora8isvrvr81.dll to libsdeora8isvrvr81.dll.orig

    Oracle 8.0.6
    gsrvrora81.dll to gsrvrora81.dll.orig
    libsdeorasvrvr81.dll to libsdeorasvrvr81.dll.orig

  2. Download the appropriate files to a location other than %SDEHOME%:
    sde81sp1_ora8i_intel_nt.zip      2MB
  3. Use WinZip to extract the files to your %SDEHOME%\bin folder.

  4. As the SDE user, run the following command to restart the ArcSDE service:
    C:\> sdemon-o start [[-i<service>] [-s <server_name>] |[-H <sde_directory>]] [-p<DB_Admin_password>]

Direct Connect Drivers for Windows (Updated 6/25/02)

To install the Trim Patch in to a ArcSDE Direct Connect client installation such as ArcGIS Desktop:

  1. In the %ARCHOME%\bin folder, rename the following files:

    Oracle 8i
    gsrvrora8i81.dll to gsrvrora8i81.dll.orig
    libsdeora8isvrvr81.dll to libsdeora8isvrvr81.dll.orig

    Oracle 8.0.6
    gsrvrora81.dll to gsrvrora81.dll.orig
    libsdeorasvrvr81.dll to libsdeorasvrvr81.dll.orig

  2. Download the appropriate files to a location other than %ARCHOME%:
    sde81sp1_ora8i_intel_nt.zip      2MB
    sde81sp1_ora806_intel_nt.zip   2MB
  3. Use WinZip to extract the files to your %ARCHOME%\bin folder.
