Description

 

Installation Notes


If you use a non-English version of ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop or Engine:
  • This notice is to advise you of a specific situation where some users of the non-English version of ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop or Engine will need to install the ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 (Desktop, Engine) Language Pack Resource Files Patch to use in conjunction with ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Desktop or Engine.
  • In ArcGIS 10.1 SP1, text in a few of the dialog boxes has been modified. If you use one of the nine non-English versions of ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop or Engine and you apply ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for English, there will be some dialogs that have controls without any text on them. This affects the functionality of the dialog. For reference, the Nimbus number for this issue is NIM085749.
  • This Language Pack patch (available for each language) will allow the affected dialogs functionality to be used, but the text will be in English. We expect this patch to be available for download the week of November 12, 2012.
  • This issue will be resolved with translated text once we release ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for the nine non-English locales. It will have the new or changed text translated into the appropriate language. We are currently targeting late January 2013 to release the localized version of ArcGIS 10.1 SP1.
  • This issue does not affect ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Server.
General Notes:
  • Service pack 1 is cumulative and contains the fixes from all previous 10.1 patches. If you have a previous patch installed, you may apply service pack 1 over it to update the required files.
ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1:
  • The ArcGIS for Desktop installation requires the user to be a system administrator or have elevated privileges in a deployment environment.
  • It is important to keep ArcGIS 10.1 products installed on a single machine the same release version to avoid any software conflicts.
  • If you have installed client setups from a shared Network Administrative ArcGIS Desktop setup, Service Pack 1 must be applied to all client installations.
  • Windows 2003 Server users, see Technical Article 33818 if you encounter Error 1718. File was rejected by digital signature policy.
  • Service pack 1 is supported with the ArcGIS Desktop 10.1 Evaluation Edition.
ArcGIS 10.1 SP 1 for Desktop Background Geoprocessing (64-bit):
  • ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Desktop must be installed prior to installing ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Desktop Background Geoprocessing (64-bit).
ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 Engine Background Geoprocessing (64-bit):
  • ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 Engine must be installed prior to installing ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Engine Background Geoprocessing (64-bit).
ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Server Windows and Linux:
  • ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Server is available from the Customer Care Portal. This includes the 10.1 SP1 Web Adaptor setups.

    Typically, Esri provides Service Packs for ArcGIS Server in the form of .msp or tar files. We are delivering ArcGIS 10.1 Service Pack 1 for Server via a Setup.exe file (not .msp files) for Windows or Setup file for Linux, because this allows Esri to provide an improved installation experience. To get started with Service Pack 1, you can:

     

    • Install ArcGIS 10.1 Service Pack 1 for Server on a machine that does not already have ArcGIS Server 10.1. An install of ArcGIS 10.1 for Server is not a prerequisite for installation of this Service Pack.

      OR

    • Install Service Pack 1 on a machine where ArcGIS Server 10.1 is already running. Your entire ArcGIS Server site including all services and configurations are maintained during the upgrade to Service Pack 1. You will not be asked to re-create your ArcGIS Server site. It is not required to back up files before running Service Pack 1.
  • Refer to the install guides for ArcGIS for Server (Windows) and ArcGIS for Server (Linux) for more information on installing Service Pack 1. For more information about what is included with ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Server, refer to the Issues Addressed with this Service Pack and the What’s New topics for Windows and Linux in the Server Help.

  • A new version of ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder on Amazon Web Services has been released at 10.1 SP1, as well as new ArcGIS Server AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) that include the service pack. These are available to existing ArcGIS for Server on Amazon Web Services customers. If you would like to install 10.1 SP1 on your existing site, see the ArcGIS Help book Applying ArcGIS Service Packs on Amazon Web Services for instructions.
Enterprise geodatabase upgrades:

You must upgrade geodatabases in the following database management systems. Geodatabase upgrades are run from an ArcGIS client. Therefore, you must apply the service pack to your ArcGIS client then upgrade your geodatabase. See the topic specific to your DBMS and its related links for instructions to upgrade a geodatabase:

ST_Geometry upgrades:

If you installed the ST_Geometry type in your Oracle or PostgreSQL database, upgrade the type after you install an ArcGIS 10.1 SP 1 client. See the topic specific to your DBMS for instructions:

System Administrators:
  • A technical paper is available that discusses the enterprise deployment of ArcGIS 10.1 setups using Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), and Group Policy, including additional system requirements, suggestions, known issues, and Microsoft Software Installation (MSI) command line parameters. Deployment in a lockdown environment is also covered. ArcGIS 10.1 Enterprise Deployment.
