Descripción

ESRI® announces the ArcGIS Desktop 9.0 Map Document Performance Patch. This Patch solves a performance issue that occurs when opening a map document from a location on the network rather than the local machine. It deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.

We recommend that all ArcGIS Desktop 9.0 who utilize map documents stored on networked drives, download and install this Patch at their earliest convenience to ensure the highest quality experience when working with ArcGIS Desktop 9.0.

Issues Addressed with this Patch


  • CQ00271561 - Read-only map documents open faster than read-write documents when opening over a network.
  • The main issue is:

    • Map Documents with full read-write permissions opened over a network drive open slower than read-only documents. This issue is the result of the connection to the map document over the network being left open longer than necessary, resulting in excess network traffic that leads to a performance slowdown..

      This patch resolves the performance issue by closing the connection to map document when it is not longer needed thereby reducing the unnecessary network traffic.

Files Installed in this Patch

  • Under the C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Bin folder:
    • ArcMap.exe
